Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

  1. 1

    Prepare the tempeh by slicing the block into four equal cutlets.

    Aproximativ 2 min.

    Nota bucătarului: You can lightly steam the tempeh for 5 minutes before slicing to reduce bitterness, but it's not essential for this recipe.

  2. 2

    In a shallow dish, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt for the blackening spice rub.

    Aproximativ 1 min.

  3. 3

    Dredge each tempeh cutlet in the spice rub, pressing gently to ensure an even coating on all sides.

    Aproximativ 2 min.

  4. 4

    To make the avocado crema, combine the avocado, lime juice, cilantro, water, and salt in a small food processor or blender.

    Aproximativ 2 min.

  5. 5

    Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.

    Aproximativ 1 min.

    Nota bucătarului: Add a touch more water if you prefer a thinner consistency.

  6. 6

    Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

    Aproximativ 2 min.

    Nota bucătarului: Ensure the pan is hot before adding the tempeh for a good sear.

  7. 7

    Carefully place the seasoned tempeh cutlets in the hot skillet.

  8. 8

    Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until a deep, dark crust forms and the tempeh is heated through.

    Aproximativ 8 min.

    Nota bucătarului: Adjust heat if the spices are browning too quickly.

  9. 9

    Remove the blackened tempeh cutlets from the skillet and serve immediately with the avocado crema.

    Nota bucătarului: These are delicious served with a side of rice, quinoa, or a fresh green salad.
