Total Time: Approximately 40 minutes.

Tempeh Marinade

1/3 cup red wine vinegar

3 to 4 minced garlic cloves

1/2 cup olive oil (or any vegetable oil)

2 teaspoons of dried oregano or 1 tablespoon fresh chopped oregano

8 ounces Tempeh chopped

Pickled Red Onion

1 large red onion

3/4 cup apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons of raw sugar or sweetener of your choice

Kalamata olives

Cherry tomatoes cut in half

Thinly sliced cucumbers

Hummus (optional)

Vegan Pita bread (optional)

Step 1: In a large mixing bowl add red wine vinegar, garlic, olive oil and oregano. Whisk together then set aside.

Step 2: Chop your tempeh into small squares and add them to your vinegar mixture. Mix well until the tempeh is well coated.

Step 3: Put into a container and store in the fridge to marinate at least 30 minutes. I marinate mines overnight.

Step 4: In a pot add your apple cider vinegar, salt, and sweetener of your choice and bring to a boil.

Step 5: While your solution is boiling use a knife or mandolin to cut your onion. Set them in a bowl.

Step 6: Once your solution comes to a boil quickly remove it from the stove and pour it over your onions. Mix and allow to sit until it reaches room temperature.

Step 7: Once the onions are room temperature add them and the vinegar solution to a clean Mason jar and store it in your fridge until you are ready to use them.

Step 8: Once your tempeh is finished marinating heat up a pan on medium high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil (or any vegetable oil you have).

Step 9: Once the pan is hot add your tempeh and cook until golden brown (approximately 5 minutes).

Step 10: Remove your tempeh from the pan once it is done cooking.

Step 11: Build your bowl however you like with your cooked tempeh, pickled red onions, Kalamata olives, cherry tomatoes and cucumbers. Goes great with pita bread and hummus (both optional).

Step 12: Enjoy.
