Marinade

Ingredients:

For 1 pound of Tempeh:

1⁄3 cup tamari or soy sauce

3 TBSP liquid smoke

1⁄3 cup olive oil

3 TBSP red wine vinegar

2 tsp granulated garlic

2 tsp powdered ginger

Dressing:

Ingredients:

1 cup vegan mayonnaise (we recommend Hampton Creek’s Just Mayo)

1 1⁄2 TBSP sriracha

5 TBSP ketchup

3 TBSP minced yellow onion

3 TBSP minced dill pickle

1 tsp granulated garlic

1⁄2 tsp salt

1 tsp lemon juice

⅛ tsp ground pepper

Directions:

-Slice and marinate your tempeh. Each slice should be no thicker than 1/4 inch. Prepare the following marinade and soak your sliced tempeh in it, refrigerated, for at least 30 minutes to overnight.

-Thinly slice a yellow onion (use the leftover onion from your dressing) and sautee it to perfection.

-Now you're ready to assemble your sandwich.

-Spread the dressing on two slices of rye bread.

-Prepare an oiled hot skillet and sautee tempeh slices on each side, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.

-Place the grilled onions and a handful of The Brinery sauerkraut on the skillet, to heat through.

-Layer the tempeh, sauerkraut and grilled onions between the two slices of bread.

-Place your sandwich back on the same skillet to lightly toast both sides.

-Plate it with a pickle spear and devour!
