How to Prepare BBQ Tempeh Sandwiches With Stewed Fig, Onion Marmalade and Arugula [Vegan]
- For the marmalade, dice the figs and slice the onions into thin rings. Put the olive oil in a hot cast-iron saucepan and add the figs, onions, cinnamon, salt and bay leaf and sweat them for 5 minutes over indirect heat. Deglaze the pan with the vinegar and 2/3 cup water and cook over low heat for 40 minutes.
- Cut the tempeh into slices 0.39-inches thick, blanch for 10 minutes in boiling water, then drain.
- Mix the soy sauce, oil and paprika and marinate the tempeh slices in the mixture for 30 minutes.
- Cook the tempeh over direct heat for 4 to 5 minutes each side.
- Cut the rolls open and spread each cut side with 1 tablespoon vegan cream cheese. Fill each with the arugula and tempeh and top with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the fig and onion marmalade.
Notes
The marmalade is also very good if prepared beforehand and can be stored for up to 1 week in the refrigerator.
