Oooh, I've been trying to come up with a new idea for tempeh. This may be it!

I also LOVE LOVE LOVE this tempeh recipe.

The pictures inside the cut make this look like an entirely plausible meal, but that first one... purple meat, purple leeks(?), purple mushrooms don't add up to being actual food items to my eye.

I know it's mostly the red wine and the rest is probably lighting, so not your fault... I just had to comment because I was so struck by the purple. I think if I was serving this to guests, I'd save the wine for their glasses. The pic just pre-wine looks fabulous.

it's tempeh, not meats!
although I must agree the mushrooms freaked me out a bit, not that I would turn down the meal by any means.

Haha, my first thought was "PURPLE!!!!!!!!...???" as well.

But I think it looks amazing. Mmmm.

It was really more of a reddish-brown in person, actually, but it does look awfully purple in the photos. Anyway, it's worth it :)

Sounds interesting! I've been looking for more ways to eat vegan and this seems great!

Looks yummy - the purple mushrooms caught my eye, but the list of ingrediants has me interested in cooking up a batch myself.

i must have skipped over this recipe in this month's issue. was this a four hour process? did you make the spelt first? it seems odd to sautee all your veggies then make something that takes an hour and a half afterwards...or did you make the spelt while you simmed the soupy mixture? where did you find whole grain spelt? i have access to ...every store i can think of.

Yes, of course, the spelt cooking & the tempeh simmering happened at the same time! It still took a good two hours to make, but most of that was unattended simmering time.
