    Tempeh is a unique meat replacement – made from soy beans, a single serving has 12 grams of protein. Tempeh can be purchased in the organic section of the grocery store or at your local health-food store. The brand I used for this sandwich is Turtle Island Foods, Inc - a smoky maple bacon flavor. Tempeh can be made at home although I have never tried it – maybe my next venture. TLT as I like to call as it is made like your typical BLT, however there are no rules so anything goes. This mock BLT is totally vegan – no animal products and cholesterol free. The mayo used is also cholesterol free called Vegenaise – made with grapeseed oil and no eggs. I am watching my cholesterol.

    Ingredients

    • olive oil
    • 4-5 slices Tempeh per serving
    • lettuce
    • tomato (from my garden)
    • vegenaise
    • 5 grain bread

    Directions

    1. Heat the oil and when hot add the tempeh, fry for 2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
    2. Put Vegenaise on each side of the bread, top with tempeh, lettuce and tomato.
    3. The tomatoes are fresh from my garden.
    4. Surprisingly this is a very tasty alternate to the BLT, even my husband liked it, another surprise.
