Ingredients:

  • 1 Tbsp butter or margarine
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1-8 oz packet tempeh, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 c vegetarian beef style broth
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

  • 1 tsp browning sauce
  • 1 c frozen lima beans
  • 2 medium potatoes, diced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped

Directions:

  1. In large heavy pot over medium heat, melt butter in oil. Add tempeh and onions, and allow to brown about 6 minutes, turning twice.
  2. Add garlic and flour; cook another half-minute, stirring well. Pour in broth and stir until it simmers a minute and thickens to a smooth gravy.
  3. Add black pepper, paprika, bay leaf, Worcestershire sauce, browning sauce, lima beans, potatoes, carrots, celery, and seasoning salt; stir well. Add water to barely cover all vegetables and tempeh; stir.
