kind eats: BBQ tempeh sandwiches topped with multicolor slaw
I got this BBQ sandwich recipe from PETA, and though I haven't tried it yet, it looks and sounds like a great BBQ dish for summer.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
BBQ Tempeh:
- 1 lb. tempeh
- 1/2 cup(s) of soy sauce
- 1/2 cup(s) of apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup(s) of maple syrup
- 1/2 cup(s) of olive oil
- 2 tsp. chipotle powder
- 1 tsp. dried thyme
- 1 tsp. sweet paprika
- 1 tsp. cumin
- 6 kaiser rolls, sliced in half
Multicolor Slaw:
- 1 cup(s) shredded green cabbage
- 1 cup(s) shredded red cabbage
- 1/4 cup(s) finely diced onions
- 2 tbsp. vegan mayonnaise (try Vegenaise)
- 1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 tsp. celery salt, sea salt and pepper, to taste
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 450ºF. Cut the tempeh in half lengthwise, then cut the 2 slabs in half widthwise (as if you were slicing a roll), creating 4 squares that are nearly identical in size. Next, cut the tempeh into smaller strips, about 1 by 3 inches. Arrange in a single layer in a 2- to 3-inch-deep baking dish and set aside.
- Whisk together all the remaining ingredients. Pour over the tempeh, coating evenly. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil and bake, uncovered, for an additional 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- In a medium-size bowl, combine the cabbage, onions, vegan mayonnaise, and vinegar. Mix until well combined. Add the celery salt, salt, and pepper. Keep in mind that the tempeh will be both spicy and slightly salty! Cover and store in the fridge until ready to assemble the sandwiches.
- Lightly toast the rolls. Pile as much of the tempeh as you'd like onto one half of each roll. Top with some of the slaw, add the other half of the roll, and enjoy.
What's your favorite summer sandwich?

Tried this tonight and it was freaking awesome. I'd recommend this to anyone - vegan or not!! Didn't have chipotle powder so I just used chili powder...less smokiness, I suppose, but there's cumin to help out in that department. I used my own go-to slaw recipe veganized with a combo of Vegenaise and Tofutti Better than Sour Cream all on Homemade Vegan Whole Wheat buns. Can't wait to make this again! -
I made these sandwiches for my husband and myself last night. They were awesome! He said they were the best veggie sandwiches he's ever had. I didn't follow the recipe exactly (I never do. . .). I blended the sauce ingredients in a blender with a roasted red pepper and because I didn't have any chipotle powder and used some Trader Joe's South African Smoke Seasoning and Chipotle hot sauce. I also allowed the tempeh to marinate for several hours during the day. I only had green cabbage, so the slaw became "multicolored" with grated carrot. Finally, I topped them with some toasted sunflower seeds on delicious, locally made bread. The sandwiches paired wonderfully with beans and a fruit salad. A great way to spend Independence Day! Cheers!

UsuallyKindGuy, check out Nutritionfacts.org, watch Forks Over Knives, and read Eat To Live....There are so many health benefits associated with eating a vegan/vegetarian diet...so many that I wouldn't be able to list them here or give them the justice that these sources do. I am not going to push this lifestyle on you, but just would like you to be aware that there are hundreds of benefits from this lifestyle related to health, ethics, and the environment, it truely is Kind to all aspects of life.

UnusuallyKindGuy,
You stated:"As I said If there would be serious gains to my health to be obtained I would even eat a 100% plant-based diet" Just so everyone is clear on what you're trying to say, (or ask), do you feel there are not serious heath gains to be had by switching to a 100% plant based diet? You made the statement, and I'm not at all being judgemental. I'm just trying to see where you stand on this issue so either myself or others on this site can offer advice and share their own experiences which could be of a great benefit to you.
Kind Regards.....
