We hope you’re well.
This super nostalgic, delicious and satisfying ingredient is perfect for home or restaurant use. It’s one of my favorite things that I grew up eating.
Hot Italian Sausages with pasta and my recreation hit the spot. I make in big batches and freeze into portions for later.
This is AWESOME! And I’ll be working up a couple more dishes to apply it too soon.
The DIY Nooch recipe video to make for holiday gifts is here:
The book referenced that i’ve read is called, Food of Bodhisatvas
THE RECIPE:
HOT Italian TEMPEH / TOFU Sausage crumble
2, 200g Blocks Tempeh
1 450g black EXTRA Super firm TOFU
2 TBS Fennel seeds, ground and pound
2 TBS Oregano
1 TBS Garlic, granulated
1 TBS Onion, granulated
1 teaspoon Red Pepper flakes (for spicy)
3/4 teaspoon White peppercorn, ground and pound
1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
1 lemon zested (optional)
1 cup Olive oil
½ Cup Red wine (optional)
1 garlic clove, sliced
2 Star Anise, whole
On low heat, heat oil with fresh garlic and star anise, until hot.
Combine rest of the seasonings in a bowl,
Slowly add hot oil and let sit for a minute.
With a fork, whisk in red wine
Marinate 30 mins or overnight
Roast 30 minutes
For best results, cool and then use for recipes.
The longer it sits after roasting the better and more intense the flavor gets.
