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.
Breaded tempeh
- 1 pkg tempeh
- 2 cups fresh bread
							 crumbs
- 1/2 cup of flour
- 1 tsp salt
- freshly ground pepper
-
							 1/2 cup soy beverage
- olive oil

Lemon Sauce
- 6 tbsp
							 margarine
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp capers

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. This will yield 8
							 pieces
 Mix together the flour, salt and pepper. Arrange the flour mixture,
							 the breadcrumbs, and the soy beverage on three separate plates. Dredge the
							 tempeh pieces in the flour mixture , then dip into the soy. 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 the lemon
							 sauce by combining the ingredients and warming in the microwave or on the stove
							 top. Mix well and drizzle over the tempeh. Serve with roasted
							 potatoes.
Serves 4.
