Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    In a wide, heavy saute pan over medium heat, warm 2 tablespoons of the oil.
  2. 2
    Add the tempeh and saute until golden brown on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes.
  3. 3
    Add the wine and soy sauce, raise the heat, and bring to a boil.

    Add the leeks and mushrooms and saute, stirring and tossing until the vegetables are lightly caramelized.

    Stir in the flour and continue to cook until the flour smells toasted and fragrant, 2 to 3 more minutes.
  9. 9
    Add the stock and garlic.
  10. 10
    Make a bouquet garni by tying together with kitchen twine or wrapping in cheesecloth the thyme, parsley, and celery leaves.

  12. 12

This was a very good dish. Very flavorful and filling. I followed the recipe exactly and there is really nothing that I would do differently.

    I wish I could add another 3/4 star but that is because I could only get baby bella's for mushrooms, so didn't have a good mix for the mushrooms. We also thought it had just a bit too much leek, perhaps just the white parts next time. But otherwise, this was wonderful. We're even freezing two containers for my DH to take for lunch. I also simmered the Tempeh for 10 minutes before browning it, which I did in two batches so it would have plenty of room in the pan. I served it with a small side of lentil pilaf which I'd made last week and had in the freezer. Can't wait to make this again!

    This was absolutely delicious. I don't usually make dishes with loads of garlic on a weeknight, but I couldn't resist the sound of this one. It was worth it though. I'm going to have to make it for my workmates as a peace offering though, I think. I used tempeh, and it broke up a bit in the stew, so I'll chop it into larger chunks next time. I, too, didn't make the bouquet garni as I didn't have any twine and didn't want to duplicate the Bridget Jones Blue Soup fiasco. I served it over mashed potato and was in gastronomic heaven. If I hadn't filled myself up "taste testing", I would have had a second helping!

    Yummy! I really didn't miss the chicken at all. This sort of reminded me of my Thanksgiving stuffing in it's flavor, but more sophisticated. I used tofu cubes, frozen, defrosted and squoze (is that a word?) the excess liquid out. Also skipped the bouquet garni and just dumped some thyme, parsley and celery leaves in... sorry! But just because I was too lazy to do that didn't cause any harm. I absolutely love this dish.
