Jennifer's "Tuna" Tempeh Spread

Last week I made Jennifer Jacobs' Quinoa Salad. This week, her "Tuna" Tempeh Spread.... I used 8 oz. of 'Three Grain' tempeh. You can pick up tempeh at Stop & Shop! They carry the same brand that I've seen at Whole Foods. Steam the crap out of it. 20 minutes. Add a bit of water, mash it, and let it cool.Then add parsley, celery, white onion, and thyme. I went fresh with everything. Add mustard & light mayo.
The results: a very tasty sandwich spread. Will definitely make it again.

Jennifer Jacobs' "Tuna" Tempeh Spread

8oz tempeh, diced
1/3 C mayo
2T minced onion
2T minced celery
1/4 t sea salt
2 t prepared mustard
2T minced fresh parsley
2T minced fresh dill (or 2t dried)

Steam tempeh for 20 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and immediately add 1 1/2T water. Mash thoroughly while tempeh is still hot. Cool to room temperature, then add mayo - dill. Mix well. This is good in a sandwich with olive, dill pickle, tomato, etc. *Jennifer just told me that this recipe is from The Natural Health Cookbook.
