How to Make Tempeh Sausage Crumbles

  1. Crumble 1 block (8 oz) of tempeh into a large sauté pan. Add 1/2 cup of water, just enough to almost cover the tempeh.
  2. Bring to a high heat and steam the tempeh, stirring occasionally, until most of the water is absorbed (approximately 15 minutes).
  3. Drain any remaining water from the pan. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1/2 cup chopped mushrooms. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
  4. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tempeh is lightly browned and heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
