I have struggled to figure out what to make for dinner recently. I haven't had too many things on hand. My wallet was stolen and I really didn't have an easy way to buy food. I had to get cash from ATMs if I wanted money. I basically had to use what I had on hand this week until I receive my new debit and credit cards. I had to open brand new accounts, replace everything, get a new ID....no fun! Ladies, watch your purses! Do not hang them on your chair in a crowed Starbucks!
I had a block of tempeh I needed to use. I decided to make a smoky tempeh sandwich on a whole wheat tortilla with garlic aioli, salad, and oven roasted pub chips. This was actually a very simple meal.
Smoky Tempeh
1 package of tempeh cut into strips
Soak tempeh in 3-4 tablespoons of liquid smoke for 20 minutes
When ready to assemble, cook on medium high heat for 2 minutes on each side
Before the Liquid Smoke soak
Garlic Aioli
1 can of white kidney beans
3 cloves of garlic
pepper to taste
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro
Blend all the ingredients together in a food processor adding olive oil until you reach a creamy consistency.
Pub Chips
Wash 2 russet potatoes
Slice into very thin pieces
Spray cookie sheet with olive oil spray
Drizzle chips with olive oil
Sprinkle with whatever seasonings you wish- I simply used seasoned salt this time. I have used garlic powder, Cajun seasoning, etc.
Cook on 425 degrees (I don't really time them, when I seem them starting to brown, I flip them and back a bit longer)
Sandwich Assembly
Spread garlic aioli on a tortilla (a pita pocket would also work)
Add fresh lettuce
Add sliced tomatoes
Add smoky tempeh
Wrap and enjoy!
Happy Cooking!
