Ingredients
  

  • 1 8 oz Package Tempeh
  • 1/4 Cup Water
  • 1 to 2 Tbsp Oil Any oil will work, I used avocado oil for this recipe.
  • 1/2 Cup Barbecue Sauce Homemade or store bought.
  • Sliced Bread
  • Vegan Mayo
  • Sliced Pickles Optional
  • Sliced Cheese of your choice Optional

Instructions
 

  • Remove the tempeh from the packaging and slice into thin slices.
  • In a large skillet add the thinly sliced tempeh to the oil and cook on a medium heat.
  • After a few minutes flip the slices, browning both sides of the tempeh.
  • Once the tempeh has browned on each side, add the barbecue sauce and water.
  • Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, while stirring just to prevent the tempeh from burning. (Do not over stir, the tempeh, it will fall apart easily.)
  • After 5 or 7 minutes, check if the tempeh is warm, once warm remove from heat and set aside.
  • Toast the bread of your choice.
  • Once the bread is toasted, spread the mayo onto each slice of toast.
  • Next spoon the barbecue tempeh onto the mayo.
  • Finish with topping the tempeh with cheese and sliced pickles (optional) and finish off with the other slice of toast.
  • Serve your barbecue sandwich with a side of your favorite chips and a pickle.
