Recipe: Tempeh Sausage, Italian Style
I can understand the hesitation many of you feel when reading “tempeh” and “sausage” in the same title. I assure you, I was hesitant but thought it worth a try. Brad also decided to pass on the sausage but when he tried mine was very impressed and decided it was pretty good. So that’s something. 
Personally I really like tempeh, but I realize it isn’t for everyone. The nice thing about this recipe is that you grate the tempeh so any texture complaints are negated. Its very easy and quick to prepare. The sausage lasted several days in the fridge, I think longer if I hadn’t eaten it so quickly. 8-) I used it directly on pizza and let it cook up in the oven, I sauteed it and used it in burritos and on pasta – really there are so many great ways to use this – give it a try!
