I made my own bacon! Okay, it was Tempeh Bacon and it didn’t really require much work. Just slice the tempeh, rub it with crushed garlic, and marinate it in a mixture of soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and tomato paste. The recipe comes from Vegan with a Vengeance and you can find it HERE.
I just sautéed the mushrooms in olive oil and cheese comes from Vegan Gourmet. It says it melts, but I haven’t actually witnessed that yet.
The Veggie Burger is also a recipe from Vegan with a Vengeance and uses TVP (textured vegetable protein), which I’ve never used before. TVP is dehydrated, defatted soy protein. Using it helps create a ground-meat texture. In addition to the TVP, the burger also has finely chopped onions, carrots, and mushrooms.
My dessert for Vegan Tuesday was that monstrosity you see in the post below. I didn’t use butter, just oil.
Go over to Veggie Num Nums and see the Barley Soup with Grilled Bread and Tomatoes Michele made for Vegan Tuesdays.
This looks great! … I’m now officially hungry!
Delicious! I am loving those mushrooms!
You made your own bacon??? Wow. This whole thing looks so good…I am very impressed by all this vegan cooking you do.
Love that burger! The bacon/mushroom combination sounds especially yummy.
Will wonders never cease. I can’t even imagine what that tastes like.
Looks yummy!
This looks so amazingly delicious… exactly what I’d like to have for lunch!
You are amazing – is there no limit to your creativity?
My copy of VwaV is buried in a box, so I can’t double-check this, but doesn’t the recipe call for apple cider, not vinegar? This one for example, has cider.
That burger looks really tasty, though!
That burger looks wonderful! I love that tempeh from VWAV and should make another batch myself.
This looks yummy. I love tempeh bacon. But I think we need a new name for it. Bempeh? Tecon? sigh Tempeh bacon it is. Great burger!
That is one gorgeous burger! I’m sure even my meat-loving hubby would gobble it up
This seriously looks every bit as delicious as the 100% carnivore version.
I must put that book on the list, vegan bacon! Impressive. The whole sammie looks delicious.
That looks fantastic! I love bacon/mushroom burgers!
It’s almost time for lunch- this looks so amazing VWAV is such a great book!
That burger looks so suculent and juicy! I would never believe it’s vegan. I think you did a great job, making your own bacon shows determination! I’m a bit frightened of that cheese that won’t melt, though
This looks fantasic! I am going to give tempeh another try.
Love the burger, but the strudel looks even better!! YUM. . . ..
This looks amazing! I have some tempeh sitting in my fridge. What a perfect use!
This looks delicious! I’m impressed with the homemade ‘bacon’ – I’m going to have to give that a try!
That is one heck of a burger. Making me hungry for one and it’s 8:23am.
You are definitely making me wanting to join the vegan tuesdays !!!
