Slow Cooker Tempeh Braised with Figs and Port Wine is from my first cookbook, The Vegan Slow Cooker, and cooks up perfect in your crockpot.
This recipe embodies what I love about slow cookers – very little hands on time and it cooks without supervision. If you’re new to tempeh, it's an Indonesian soy food. It has halved soybeans in it and is cultured. It’s a great substitution for any of your old, non-vegan recipes and holds together great in the slow cooker.
You can make this with balsamic vinegar in place of the port wine – but only use 2 tablespoons vinegar and add extra water to make up a whole cup of liquid.

I wanted this to be good (I actually have the cookbook this recipe is from), but it\’s truly awful. I made it for a Thanksgiving dinner with friends and had to throw it out and make something else with little time to spare.
