BBQ Tempeh Wrap with Goaty Cheeze

by

I was craving “junk food” today so I searched through my fridge and came up with this BBQ Tempeh Wrap.

Ingredients:

* 1 Tbsp Olive Oil (optional if you’re oil-free – use water sauté or broth instead)

* 1 – 8oz block of tempeh (I like Trader Joe’s Organic Tempeh the best!)

* 1 1/2 cups leftover Finger Lickin’ Good BBQ Sauce

* 2-3 Tbsp leftover Kale Butter

* Whole wheat wraps or tortillas

* 1 cup baby spinach

* 1 tomato

* 2-4 Tbsp Goaty Cheeze

* Southwestern Chipotle Sauce

Directions:

* First I cut up a block of tempeh into 8 slices

* Heat cast iron pan (or regular if you don’t have cast iron but you may need a little oil or broth so they don’t stick)

* Brown tempeh slices on both sides, about 2 minutes each side

* Blot oil from tempeh and add to bowl with bbq sauce, coat tempeh

* Assemble wrap!

I spread Kale Butter on the wrap first, then added baby spinach, bbq tempeh slices, added slices of tomato, dolloped Goaty Cashew Cheeze on top and a little Southwestern Chipotle Sauce.

Yummy!!

How to make amazing burgers out of leftover soup

If you can’t tell by my posts lately, I love soup! I love leftover soup too but after about 3 days of it, I’m ready for something new. That’s when I usually ship it off to my hubby to share with the guys at work. I learned a cool new way to make burgers from leftover soup from my favorite vegan food blogger Melomeals: Vegan For $3.33 A Day.

Here’s my second try at this, I used leftover Red Lentil, Chickpea & Chili Soup for the burger and served it on rosemary sourdough bread with caramelized onions, spinach and Southwestern Chipotle Sauce. It was so good… like “party-in-your-mouth” good!!

Leftover Red Lentil, Chickpea & Chili Soup Burger with Chipotle Dressing/Sauce

First, I tried it out on leftover Chipotle Split Pea Soup and it was excellent! My hubby and toddler loved it and my hubby requested I put together a batch for him to take to work.

Here’s how you do it:

* Take 1 cup of leftover soup and add it with a liberal 1/2 cup rolled oats and 1 Tbsp golden flax meal…. and that’s it!

* Mix and place in fridge for several hours or overnight – I did overnight, worked out great!

* Shape into patties and cook in cast iron pan on high heat until done.
