Ingredients:
Tempeh Bacon (see recipe below)
1/2 c. veganaise (vegan mayo)
2 T. organic ketchup
1 T. onion, grated
1 T. fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 t. dried)
1/2 t. chili powder
1/2 t. garlic powder
1/4 t. tamari (or soy sauce)
1 T. olive oil
1/4 c. onion, finely diced
2 c. sauerkraut, drained
1/4 t. caraway seeds
2 tomatoes thinly sliced
1/2 bunch kale, rinsed, and stalks removed
8 slices rye bread, toasted or grilled
sliced vegan cheese (optional- I like tofutti brand with this recipe)
Tempeh Bacon
1 8 oz. package of tempeh
3 T tamari (or soy sauce)
1 T. apple cider vinegar
2 tsp. pure maple syrup
1 tsp. toasted sesame oil
1/2 t. garlic powder
1/4 t. chili powder
2 t. liquid smoke (optional)
Thinly slice tempeh into 4" long, 1" wide and 1/4 " thick slices and place them on a large plate.
Combine all other ingredients in a small bowl. Drizzle 1/2 of marinade mixture over tempeh slices, flip over slices and drizzle remaining marinade mixture over slices. Refrigerate and leave to marinate for at least one hour.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Place tempeh slices on the cooking sheet and spoon any remaining marinade over the tempeh slices. Bake for 15 minutes. Flip over tempeh with a spatula and bake an additional 15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy around the edges.
Special Sauce
In a small bowl, combine veganaise, ketchup, grated onion, parsley, chili powder, garlic powder and tamari and mix thoroughly. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing remaining ingredients.
Sauerkraut Mixture
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add onion and saute for 2-3 minutes, stirring often until soft. Add sauerkraut and caraway seeds and saute 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned.
Assemble
Place slices of bread on a work surface. Spread special sauce on each slice of bread. Add tomato slices, kale, about 1/3 cup sauerkraut mixture, tempeh bacon, and sliced cheese. Slice each sandwich in half and serve.
Variation: This sandwich is also great with a little mustard, or sometimes my kids like a little extra ketchup.
Enjoy!
