Vad är då tempeh? Jo, fermenterade baljväxter (traditionellt sojabönor) som blir till en god, smart och proteinrik växtbaserad ingrediens som du kan laga SÅ mycket grejer utav. Tempehn från @artanbarta (aka den mumsiga tempehsteken som bjuds här) är unik pga den är gjord på svenska groddade gula ärter (!) och r-i-k-t-i-g-t mumsig! Plus att den är ekologisk och glutenfri. Planetnyttig mat, snäll mot magen och med oändliga möjligheter - låter rätt bra va? LAGA OCH SMAKA vettja!

Tina Bärta tempeh helbit.

Rårörda lingon: Tina lingonen, blanda ihop ned lönnsirap och en nypa salt så att du får rårörda lingon. Ställ åt sidan.

Peston: Rosta pumpakärnorna i en torr, medelhet stekpanna tills de börjar poppa. Mixa ihop ingredienserna till peston till en bitig röra i en matberedare, smaka av med salt och peppar.

Potatismos: Koka potatisen tills mjuk i lättsaltat vatten. Låt ånga av och mosa sedan till ett stomp eller mos tillsammans med havregrädde, örter, salt och peppar.

Värm ugnen till 200°C. Stek tempehn i lite rapsolja på medelvärme i en stekpanna tills den får färg runt om. Lägg i en ugnsform och bred peston ovanpå. Baka i mitten av ugnen i 15 minuter. Tills Bärtan fått fin färg och peston fått lite textur.

Stek svampen i en torr stekpanna tills vätskan kokat bort. Ringla över lite olja och stek tills den får lite färg. Smaka av med salt och peppar.

Gräddsås: Koka under tiden ihop ingredienserna till såsen, låt sjuda i 5 minuter.

Servera tempehsteken tillsammans med potatismoset, de rårörda lingonen, kantareller och varm gräddsås

This is what autumn food is all about to me; warming, comforting food filled with flavours - also this is a fun twist on a classic Swedish dish! This kind of food is really like a hug for your soul.

What is Tempeh? It’s a protein rich, smart and versatile dish / ingredient - traditionally from Indonesia - made of fermented legumes (usually soy beans). The one I use, from Swedish brand Bärta is made of Swedish sprouted yellow peas and it’s d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s! Plus it’s organic and gluten-free. Food that are nice to the planet, your tummy and your tastebuds. Best there is!

Tempeh steak with kale pesto herby potato mash, chanterelles, gravy and raw stirred lingonberries

Serves 4

Ingredients

1 Bärta tempeh whole piece

1 tsp rapeseed oil

200 grams frozen lingonberries

1 Tbsp honey or maple syrup

200 grams fresh chanterelles

flakey salt and freshly ground black pepper

Kale pesto

2 big handfulls of chopped fresh kale

1 handful of fresh parsley

1 dl pumpkin seeds, toasted

1 small garlic clove

3/4 dl cold pressed rapeseed oil

1 Tbsp nutritional yeast *

Flakey salt and freshly ground black pepper

Herby potato mash

1 kg potatoes

1 dl oat cream or any plant based cream

1 handful of fresh parsley, finely chopped

flakey salt and freshly ground black pepper

Cream sauce

2 dl oat cream or any plant based cream

2 Tbsp Tamari **

1 tsp vegetable stock powder

How to

Thaw the Bärta tempeh.

Raw stirred lingonberries: Thaw the lingonberries, blend with the honey using a spoon. Set aside.

Kale pesto: Toast the pumpkin seeds in a dry frying pan on medium heat until lightly golden. Mix together with the rest of the ingredients until you get a chunky pesto. Salt and pepper to taste.

Potato mash: Boil the potato in lightly salted water until soft. Mash together with oat cream and parsley. Salt and pepper to taste.

Pre heat the oven to 200°C. Fry the whole Bärta tempeh piece in a frying pan, in drizzle of oil, until lightly golden all around. Put in a oven dish and spread out the pesto on top. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Until the tempeh steak is all golden and the pesto slightly crispy on top.

Fry the chanterelles in a dry frying pan until all the water is gone. Then drizzle with some oil and fry until slightly crisp in the edges. Salt and pepper to taste.

Cream sauce: Bring oat cream, tamari and vegetable stock powder to a boil. Let simmer for 5 minutes.

Serve the Tempeh steak with potato mash, chanterelles, cream sauce and raw stirred lingonberries.

* Nutritional yeast is a non-active form of yeast. It had a nice kind of cheesy and nutty flavour to it and is common in plant based cooking to add a depth of flavour - and that cheesy / nutty flavour!

** Tamari is a type of soy sauce, gluten free and with less saltiness yet even more depth of flavour. If you’re using any other soy sauce start with a smaller amount and add more to taste.

Herby potato mash with green pea tempeh and courgette stir fry, tahini beet dressing and crispy salad

Potato + rapeseed + herbs = true love. Instead of mixing my potatoes to a smooth mash I like to keep it quite chunky. Serve with a super simple stir fry and a dressing to always remember! It actually feels a bit strange (yet awesome) to drizzle over such a colourful thing over your food! Try for yourself!

Herby potato mash with green pea tempeh and courgette stir fry, tahini beet dressing and crispy salad

Servers 4

Herby potato mash

400 grams new potatoes or small potatoes

1 Tbsp cold pressed rapeseed oil

1 organic lemon, zest + juice

2 handfulls fresh parsley

flakey salt and freshly ground black pepper

Green pea tempeh and courgette stir fry

250 grams green pea tempeh (or any tempeh of your choice) *

1 big courgette

2 spring onions

1 tsp cold rapeseed oil

1 Tbsp tamari, or any other soy sauce

cress

flakey salt and freshly ground black pepper

Tahini beet dressing

1 raw beetroot

1/2 dl / 0.2 cups light tahini (I like to use the light one for dressings rather then the darker one - made of toasted sesame seeds - as the dark one can taste a bit sharp)

3/4 dl / 0.3 cups water

1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 tsp maple syrup

sesame seeds and dried flowers for garnish

flakey salt and freshly ground black pepper

Crispy salad

70 grams mixed leafy greens

1 handfull of radish

50 grams red cabbage

1 Tbsp toasted rapeseeds

How to

Scrub the potato, cut bigger ones in half. Boil potatoes until soft, takes about 15-20 minutes. Drain then mash with oil and lemon by hand using a potato masher until your preferred texture. Chop the parsley roughly and add to the mash. Salt and pepper to taste.

Crumble the tempeh. Slice the courgette and spring onion. Fry courgette and onion in a bit of oil until soft. Add the tempeh and fry for another few minute until it get a nice golden color. Pour over the tamari and let in sink in. Remove from heat. Salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with cress.

Peel the beetroot, cut in smaller pieces. Mix with rest of the ingredients for the dressing in a high speed blender or food processor until completely smooth. If you don’t have a high speed blender it might be a good idea to grate the beetroot before mixing it all together as that will help getting a smoother dressing. Salt and pepper to taste. Add more water for a more runny dressing.

Slice the radish and red cabbage thinly. Toss together with the leafy greens, drizzle with some cold pressed rapeseed oil and sprinkle with rapeseeds.

Serve the mash with the stir fry, dressing and crispy salad!

Enjoy!

• Tempeh is traditionally made of soy beans which is fermented and, furthermore tempeh often comes in small blocks, similar to but more firm then for example tofu. Now days you can find a few different types of tempeh in many supermarkets and organic stories.
