Vegan Tuesday - Chipotle "no-pork" sandwich

I see vegan versions of the "steak" philly and BBQ pulled "pork" sandwich all the time.  So I wanted to try my own vegan version with the ingredients I had at home.
  
Ingredients:
1 block of tempeh (I freeze mine and let it thaw overnight in the fridge) sliced
1 pepper whatever colour you like, thinly sliced
1 small onion, thinly sliced circles
1 Tbsp oil
1/2 cup BBQ sauce
1/2 Tbsp of chili Chipotle powder
1/3 cup of vegetable broth
bread
 
 
White sauce ingredients:
Vegenaise
Your choice of spices to mix in (I used a bit of Dijon mustard, onion powder, curry powder, Italian seasoning) 
 
 
Instructions:
1 - heat the oven at 375 F
2 - In small bowl (or measuring cup), mix together BBQ sauce, chipotle powder and broth
3 - place your thinly sliced tempeh in a narrow dish and cover with sauce (move it around gently to make sure all the tempeh is covered in sauce)
4 - bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, flipping slices around half way through
 

5 - While the tempeh is baking, heat up the oil in a pan.
6 - stir-fry onion and pepper on high heat until soft (you can brown it too). 5-10 minutes or so on medium/high heat


7 - Once everything is cooked.  Put together sandwiches.  2-3 slices of tempeh per sandwich depending of the size and thickness of your bread

8 - Add some spiced vegan mayo

Was it good?  YES IT WAS!! :)

Is it husband-approved?  ABSOLUTELY (after we ran out of bread he ate the sliced tempeh with the veggies on top... no bread)

Is it kid/teenager approved?  Nah.  I tried though. 
He totally missed out.

  2. I've never had tempeh before but I try anything once! This looks really yummy! You really need to have your own food blog or be a chef or open your own restaurant or something. I'll be your first customer.
