Marinated Tempeh for Sandwiches This one is quick (prep is only a few minutes), but it's best when you've planned ahead at least one hour to allow for the full-flavor marinating time. I’m so glad to see a container of this in my fridge, a hearty sandwich filling for vegetarian lunches.

 

Open-face Tempeh Reubens  Plan ahead an hour or two before starting this dish (for tempeh marinating time) for the best flavor. Although reubens are usually meat-laden deli favorites, here’s a hearty vegetarian version that really satisfies.

 

Tempeh with Pineapple  The sweetness of the pineapple naturally complements and lightens tempeh's flavor. Drain the juice from a 20-oz. can of crushed pineapple -- the perfect amount. Stir-fry other veggies on hand (peppers, carrots, onions, or broccoli), and dinner's ready in a flash. Delicious served over rice. Makes a tasty lunch sandwich too!
