Herbed Tempeh with Macadamia Nuts
From the Lightlife Organic Wild Rice Tempeh package
Serves 3
- 1 pkg tempeh---cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 1/2 oz macadamia nuts chopped
- 2 tsp fresh chives---minced
- 1 tsp tarragon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Cooking spray
- Oil
- 3 tbsp water
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Apply cooking spray to baking sheet. In separate pan, saute tempeh in small amount of oil for 3 minutes. Chop nuts in blender until finely ground. Mix nut meal with chives, tarragon, salt, and water. Dip tempeh in mixture and place on baking sheet. Place in oven for 15 minutes.
Serve with steamed green beans, a salad, and hearty slice of bread.
Notes: Haven't tried it yet. I don't use cooking spray---why does anyone use cooking spray? So I'll probably just lightly oil the baking sheet.
You see, I consider that a man's brain originally is like a little empty
attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose. A fool
takes in all the lumber of every sort he comes across, so that the knowledge
which might be useful to him gets crowded out, or at best is jumbled up with
a lot of other things, so that he has difficulty in laying his hands upon it.
Now the skilful workman is very careful indeed as to what he takes into his
brain-attic. He will have nothing but the tools which may help him in doing
his work, but of these he has a large assortment, and all in the most perfect
order. It is a mistake to think that that little room has elastic walls and
can distend to any extent. Depend upon it there comes a time when for every
addition of knowledge you forget something that you knew before. It is of
the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out
the useful ones.
