• Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Mix the marinade ingredients with plenty of black pepper and 2 tbsp water in a bowl, then stir in the tempeh to coat it. Set aside for 15 mins to marinate.
• Pile the vegetables onto a large baking tray and toss with the oil and oregano. Bake for 10 mins, then add the tempeh along with any remaining marinade, and bake for 30 mins more until the veg is tender.

TEMPEH PAPRIKASH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• In large saucepan, bring vegetable broth to a simmer. Turn off heat; cover to keep warm.
• In medium bowl, combine oil, vinegar, cider, 1 tablespoon paprika, salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons caraway seeds, 1/4 teaspoon thyme, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1 tablespoon garlic. Add diced tempeh and toss to coat.
• In large, shallow baking dish, place tempeh with liquid in single layer. Bake, uncovered, until all liquid has been absorbed, about 25 minutes. Check often, making sure cooking liquid does not burn.
• Meanwhile, in large Dutch oven, combine onions, 1 1/2 teaspoons hot paprika, caraway, thyme and pepper and 1/4 cup hot broth. Cover and cook over medium heat until onions are softened, about 10 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir well. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, 10 minutes.
• In small bowl, dissolve cornstarch completely in cold water and add to hot broth. Stir with whisk, increase heat slightly and return mixture to a simmer. Cook, whisking, until broth thickens, about 2 minutes.
• Add broth to pan with onions and stir until mixture is well blended. Remove tempeh from oven and add to pan, along with remaining cooking liquid; stir well.
• Cover pan and bake, stirring occasionally, 45 minutes. Serve hot.
