Interesting dish. I never use tempeh without seasoning it first. Maybe this could help others. In a bowl I put approx. 2 T. olive oil and about 4-5 T. Bragg's with some seasoning. Use what you like. I used some Goya Adobo and cumin, but you could use garlic powder, etc. I then crumbled the tempeh into the bowl, mixed it up, and set it aside until it was time to add to the veggies. This lets the seasoning permeate the tempeh and give it some much needed taste. Like a previous reviewer said, don't overcook the veggies. I found I didn't need to saute anything for 5 minutes before adding the next set of ingredients. I doubled the zucchini, used an entire red pepper, and instead of sherry I used vegetable broth. This made quite a lot and I served it with mashed potatoes for everyone and noodles for me (vegan). It tasted really good! I will mix the leftovers tonight with brown rice and put them in some peppers and make stuffed peppers.

This was delicious. I didn't have flavored tempeh just unflavored and I used low sodium soy sauce instead of tamari I also took others recommendation and doubled the soy sauce to 2 Tbsp. We have been vegetarians for over 3 years but I have never tried making tempeh before and it was a great first try.

I really enjoyed this recipe, but like everybody else, thought it needed extra kick. And thats why im recommending you to put at least a teaspoon of Tabasco and Worcestor sauce in. With these extras its really nice.

Since we are newbie Vegans, this is the first time I tried a tempeh recipe. I used extra tamari, and a can of diced tomatos with roasted red pepper. No leeks. only fried up some onions. It was really very tasty! Maybe the only thing I did wrong was cut the tempeh up in small squares and should have crumbled it? Anyway, the DH liked it a lot too, so I'll definitely make it again.

Everyone loved it but based on some other reviews I tripled the Tamari and it still could use a little more flavor... I think next time I'll try some more garlic or perhaps some soy sauce.

This was good, but a little plain. I liked it, my roommate (non-vegetarian) wasn't impressed. I'll definitely eat the left-overs though and maybe try again with additional ingredients.

I am a vegetarian and really enjoy this dish. I have been making it for several years now. I only make minor adjustments. I skip the leeks and shallots and substitute with onions. I am sure they are a nice touch, but I don't keep those items on hand, and they make the recipe quite costly. I do use 2 tablespoons of tamari for a little extra flavor. I also suggest extra zucchini, mostly to give the dish more contrast in colors. I like to use halved grape tomatoes. Some reviewers have mentioned that this dish does not taste like chicken. That is correct. Tempeh does not taste like a meat. It has its own texture and takes on the flavor of what it is cooked with. You have to like tempeh to enjoy this dish. It is a staple in a vegetarian's diet. One last comment. I do not see how this dish would serve 6 people as the main course, and since it has tempeh, it is a main course dish. I would say it serves 3-4 as a main dish. Maybe I just have a heartier appetite, but that is how I see it.

I thought this recipe would be more of a main dish, but it works better as a side dish. It was good, just not enough for a full meal on its own. I put some bread crubms and butter on top to give it a more casserole-type crust.
