Ingredients
1 block organic moong bean tempeh/soya bean tempeh (thawed)
1 clove garlic – grated
1 shallot
1 green or red chili chopped fine
2 tbs fresh coriander, mint, or kafir lime leaves
1 tsp- coriander powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
Himalayan pink salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)
Organic sunflower frying oil or virgin coconut oil
Introduction
Kebabs traditionally are made from mince meat. I wanted to create a similar type of kebab using a complete protein like tempeh. The texture of tempeh made this recipe easy to create by mincing the tempeh and shaping them into a kebab.
Method
Crumble the tempeh in a mixing bowl
Hand grind garlic, chili, shallot and fresh herbs until coarse ground (no blending)
Mix the ground spices into the tempeh
Add coriander powder, turmeric, salt and pepper
Form oval shaped kebabs and place on a tray
Shallow fry each side carefully in a pan until golden brown on each side (alternately you may choose to bake after lining the tray with oil and sprinkling the kebabs and bake on 220C degrees for 15-20 mins)
Serve warm as a starter or canapé
