Quick and easy Tempeh Stew

When it comes to tempeh, german blogs keep astoundingly quiet. To me this is completely incomprehensible,  given that tempeh is delicious and easy to afford at the same time. I confess that I prefer tempeh over seitan...that makes me the outcast of the vegan scene, I guess...

Tonight's dinner was probably not the best tempeh dish ever, but for something thrown together in 5 minutes it was quite tasty.

Food loop

Though I was planning to introduce you to “Coconut-Tofu with pumpkin and mango-sauce” today, an unexpected guest thwarts this plan.

Now I am a bit in a hurry and had to throw something easy and filling, as we need a solid base for the beers to come. ;)

So, again, I present a gratinated ciabatta, only today it is an slightly different one:

Tomorrow there will be tofu!
