Time 1h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 lb tempeh, sliced into bite-size pieces
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons naturally brewed soy sauce
2 leeks, white and tenser green parts,julienned
1 lb mixed exotic mushroom, sliced (such as cremini, portobello, Shiitake, and oyster)
1 tablespoon unbleached all-purpose flour
5 1/2 cups homemade vegetable stock
40 cloves very fresh garlic, peeled
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 sprig parsley
1/4 cup celery leaves
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a wide, heavy saute pan over medium heat, warm 2 tablespoons of the oil.

  • Transfer the contents of the pan to a bowl and set aside.
  • Warm the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the pan over medium-high heat.
  • 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.
  • Add the stock and garlic.
  • Make a bouquet garni by tying together with kitchen twine or wrapping in cheesecloth the thyme, parsley, and celery leaves.
  • Add the bouquet garni and bring the stock to a boil.
  • With a wooden spoon, scrape up any browned bits that cling to the bottom of the pan.
  • Reduce the heat to low and add the tempeh with any juices that have collected in the bowl.
  • Cover and simmer gently for 30 minutes.
