Ingredients

• 1 package of tempeh (approx. 9-ounces)
• 4 tablespoons maple syrup
• 6 tablespoons grainy mustard
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 4 tablespoons water
• 1 shallot, finely minced

Preparation

2. Remove the tempeh and pat it dry with a paper towel if needed. Place it in a bowl.
3. In a separate bowl whisk together the maple syrup, grainy mustard, balsamic vinegar, water, minced shallots and garlic and whisk until combined. Set it aside.

6. Serve your tempeh topped with some of the pan sauce that remains, the chopped pistachios and scallions, your favorite sides and enjoy!
