Tempeh Kebab With Lime Oil

(serves 2)

Tempeh is a soy product made by controlled fermentation of cooked soybeans. Tempeh is a complete protein food that contains all the essential amino acids and is rich in enzymes. It’s an ideal food for vegetarians.

Ingredients

  • 8 stems asparagus
  • 4 prunes
  • 100g tempeh
  • 8 cherry tomatoes
  • 4 white mushrooms
  • Chives
  • Sea salt
  • 1tsp paprika

  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1 tbs sesame oil (preferably roasted sesame oil)
  • Apple Cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp agave syrup/1 tsp grated jaggery
  • 4 tbs olive oil.

Method

  1. Cut the tempeh into cubes and season with the juice of 1 lime, paprika, shoyu and sesame oil. Marinate for about 20 minutes.
  2. Blanche the asparagus for about 3 minutes, until they’re soft enough to fold for the kebab stick.
  3. Once the tempeh is ready, start making your kebab – follow the picture or create your own.
  4. Place your kebabs on the barbecue or grill for about 20 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by mixing the olive oil with the chives, the juice of one lime, five drops of the apple cider vinegar and the agave syrup/jaggery. Serve the sauce in individual bowls.
