Marinated Tempeh Scallopini

Name: Marinated Tempeh Scallopini
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 35 min
Ingredients: 8 cups water; 1 medium yellow onion (quartered); 5-inch piece fresh ginger; 5 cloves garlic; 5 bay leaves; 1½ cups tamari; 8 frozen tempeh patties

Hot, aromatic tamari broth seeps into the tempeh patties, giving them more depth before they ever hit a pan. Make them ahead, then sear the chilled patties when dinner needs to move quickly.

Butter Club Notes

This recipe is really the foundation for several others in the collection. On its own, the tempeh is mild, but after soaking in this broth it picks up layers of savory flavor that make it incredibly versatile. I usually make a batch ahead of time because once the patties are finished, dinner comes together fast. Throw them on the grill, sear them in a skillet, or finish them with one of the sauces from this collection.
