Tempeh Schnitzel


							 
							 
Tempeh, like tofu, can be used to replace meat in some
								traditional recipes. It has a nutty flavour and a "chewier" texture than tofu.
								Following is an example of using tempeh in a recipe that might be for veal or
								pork.

Tempeh usually comes in 4" squares. Cut each square horizontally
							 to make 2 pieces that are about 1/4" thick. Cut each square diagonally to make
							 2 triangles. For 4 servings (8 pieces) make 2 cups of fresh bread crumbs and
							 continue as follows:

 Mix together
 - 1/2 cup of flour
- 1 tsp
							 salt
- freshly ground pepper


Dredge the tempeh pieces in the
							 flour mixture , then dip into a bath of 2 beaten eggs, egg replacers, or soy
							 "milk." Then dredge them in the fresh bread crumbs, pressing them to ensure
							 that the crumbs adhere.
Using a non-stick pan and medium heat, brown the
							 tempeh pieces in olive oil on each side (approx. 3-4 minutes per side.) 

							 Make a lemon sauce with 3 tbsp of vegetable oil and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Mix
							 well and drizzle over the tempeh. Serve with roasted potatoes.
