This is a simple dish, just sliced tempeh baked in a homemade barbecue-type sauce. The tempeh soaks up the sauce and gets nice and brown in the oven.
It’s good on its own, or in a sandwich – we like it just on bread with avocado, or in a wrap with avocado. The point is, it goes really well with avocado.
The recipe suggests making a spicy sun dried tomato spread for the sandwich – I didn’t, but I think it would be really good with the tempeh. For the recipe (along with additional instructions for making a spread to go on the sandwich), head over to Food & Wine.

I love tempeh, but I generally just cook it with soy sauce. Thanks for the great idea. The tempeh looks particularly delicious with the avocado in your picture.
Do you bake it, just covered in soy sauce? Also, I love, love, love the Black Pepper Tempeh recipe in Super Natural Every Day (http://www.porkcracklins.net/2011/04/black-pepper-tempeh/).
