Pineapple Tempeh
Passionate pineapple tempeh from vegetarians in paradise that you can use for valentines day if you follow garnish directions.
Steps
Combine marinade ingredients in an 8-inch baking dish.
Set aside.
Score tempeh on both sides , making diagonal cuts 1 / 4-inch deep and 1 / 4 inch apart.
Repeat in the opposite direction to form a diamond pattern.
Scoring helps the tempeh to absorb the marinade.
Cut the tempeh into 6 portions then spread out in marinade dish and turn coating evenly.
Cover dish and marinate for 2 to 6 hours while turning pieces frequently.
Heat olive oil then using a slotted spatula , lift tempeh from marinade place in skillet and brown for 1 to 2 minutes on each side over high heat.
Remove to a serving dish and set aside.
Pour remaining marinade into the skillet and add pineapple with its juice and the green onions.
Bring to a boil.
Combine cornstarch and water in a small cup or bowl and pour into boiling pineapple mixture a little at a time , stirring constantly , until thickened to desired consistency , about 1 minute.
Pour over browned tempeh.
