How to Prepare Smoky Slow Cooker Tempeh With Sweet Potato [Vegan]

  1. Heat two tablespoons of the olive oil in a pan, or the slow cooker insert (if suitable), over a medium heat. Add the onions, garlic and spices and fry for a few minutes until the onions begin to soften.
  2. Removed the onion mix from the pan and place to one side. Add the remaining olive oil to the still-hot pan (without washing the pan – you want to retain any leftover spices). Once hot, add the tempeh.
  3. Cook the tempeh for approximately ten minutes until it is browned on each side.
  4. Return the onions to the pan, along with all other remaining ingredients. Mix well and transfer to the slow cooker – it is important to do it this way round so that the flavors from the pan are transferred to the final dish.
  5. Cook on high for four hours or low for eight to ten hours.
