Ingredients

  • 8 oz package tempeh
  • 2 T tamari
  • 1/3 C red wine vinegar
  • 1/3 C water
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 t caraway seed
  • 1/4 t dill weed
  • 1 t onion powder
  • 1 t paprika
  • mustard or thousand island dressing (I mix my own with veggie mayo and ketchup)
  • rye bread or favorite sprouted bread
  • sauerkraut
  • swiss cheese

Directions

  1. Slice tempeh in half crosswise, slice those pieces in half as if splitting a cake into layers.You should have four equal pieces.
  2. In a shallow baking dish, combine tamari, vinegar, water, garlic, pepper, caraway, dill, onion powder and paprika.
  3. Add tempeh slices; marinate at least 20 minutes or overnight, turning tempeh occasionally.
  4. Heat tempeh in pan (cast iron is great) with a touch of olive oil until browned slightly, adding marinade as needed.
  5. Spread dressing on bread, add tempeh, sauerkraut and cheese and add remaining slice of bread. (Or make open face)
  6. They are also delicious toasted in oven so cheese melts a bit.
  7. Enjoy!
