Tempeh Bacon

1. 1

   To make the marinade, combine the Bragg Liquid Aminos (tamari or soy sauce), apple cider vinegar, tomato paste and liquid smoke in a wide, shallow bowl.

2. 2

   Mix with a fork until the paste is fully dissolved.

3. 3

   Set aside.

4. 4

   Cut the tempeh into thin strips (less that 1/4-inch thick) lengthwise.

5. 5

   You should be able to get about 12 strips.

6. 6

   Rub the strips with the crushed garlic, then toss the garlic cloves into the marinade.

7. 7

   Submerge the tempeh strips in the marinade and let sit, for at least an hour up to overnight.

   After marinating, discard the garlic.

9. 9

   Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

10. 10

    Add the tempeh strips and cook for 4 minute on one side; the bottom should be nicely browned.

    Flip the strips over and pour the remainder of the marinade over them; if there isn't much marinade left add a splash of water.

12. 12

    Cover and let cook for 3 more minutes, until the liquid is absorbed.

    Uncover and check for doneness; if necessary, keep cooking uncovered until all sides are nicely browned.
