Tempeh Bacon

This is the recipe from Vegan with a Vengeance and it is awesome! It's not going to be "like" bacon - but it sure takes the place of bacon for breakfast and in BLTs.

Marinade
3 tbsp Bragg Liquid Aminos or soy sauce or tamari
1/3 cup Apple Cider
1 tsp Tomato Paste
1/4 tsp Liquid Smoke
1 (8oz) package of tempeh
2 cloves garlic, crushed

Combine first four ingredients in wide shallow bowl and mix with a fork until tomato paste is dissolved.

Cut the tempeh into thin strips (1/4 inch or thinner) lengthwise. Rub the strips with crushed garlic, then add the garlic to the marinade. Add the strips to the marinade, turning occasionally for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.

Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add strips and cook for 4 minutes on each side - they should be very brown but not burnt. Flip them over and pour any remaining marinade on them - then cook for about 3-4 minutes. Cook until both sides are evenly browned. Remove from heat and serve.
