SMOKED TEMPEH JERKY

Smoked Tempeh Jerky

Look around these days at the jerky section of the grocery store and you'll see all kinds of interesting combinations that make up "jerky". Be it bison & cranberry, buffalo chicken, cheese & jalapeno, meat-free or some other non-traditional dried, portable protein, they only thing they have in common is usually a high price tag! Why not buy a few inexpensive ingredients and make some convenience foods of your own? Even the complicated sounding vegan options can be incredibly simple to create, like this one: 

INGREDIENTS:

Smoked Tempeh Jerky

1 8 - ounce package tempeh

1/2 cup beet juice*

3 cloves pureed garlic

1 tablespoon Smokehouse Red Pepper Jerky Mix

1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon maple syrup

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

2 teaspoons sesame oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

Smokehouse Wood Chips

Directions:

In a shallow dish or sealable plastic bag, mix all liquid ingredients and spices until thoroughly combined. Gently slice tempeh into thin strips and carefully place in the brine.

Some tempeh brands may be more apt to crumble. (If you end up with several tempeh crumbles, these can be marinated and fried up in a bit of oil to eat as is, or tossed on a salad or pasta dish.)

Smoked Tempeh Jerky

Cover and brine tempeh in the refrigerator for 8 - 12 hours.

Remove tempeh from brine and discard brine. Place tempeh strips on smoker racks leaving space between each slice.

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
