Tempeh milanese

A classic recipe reinvented with tempeh, for healthy and flavorful Milanese. Recipe by @silvestres.uy.

Ingredients

  • 200 g tempeh
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 2 tbsp ground flaxseed (for the “vegan egg”)
  • Breadcrumbs or panko (or gluten-free coating)

Instructions

Marinade: Mix olive oil, lemon juice, salt, parsley, thyme, pepper, and cumin in a bowl. Slice the tempeh thinly and soak it in half of the marinade for 20-30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Vegan egg: Combine the ground flaxseed with the rest of the marinade and let it sit for a few minutes to thicken.

Breading: Dip the tempeh slices into the flaxseed mixture, then coat them in breadcrumbs or panko (or gluten-free coating), ensuring they are well covered.

Cooking: Grease a baking sheet, place the Milanese, and drizzle with more oil. Bake at 200°C (390°F) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
