DIY TEMPEH
Let's be honest, the tempeh available in the store is pretty blah. I am here to tell you that this traditional Indonesian bean cake can be the star of your plant-based summer BBQ.
Making tempeh at home is a game changer. You can choose virtually any grain or legume (throw in some seeds if you like!) and have a batch of protein rich patties, free of ultra-processed additives, in 24-48 hours.
Let me take you to veggie burger heaven!
