As an introduction to this blog I wanted to feature an original recipe by my good friend Dina Geremia. She is always coming up with incredible creations that never cease to leave my tastebuds beaming. We made these together for a Super Bowl party this past Sunday and they were a fan favorite.
THE BATTER
- 1.5 cup flour
- 1 bottle of your favorite beer
- 1 tbsp
- onion powder
- garlic power
- salt
- pepper
- 2 tsp
- celery salt
- smoked paprika
- 1 tsp
- cayenne pepper
mix all dry ingredients into a large bowl | slowly pour the beer in | stir until smooth |
* if too thin – add more flour for thicker batter | if too thick – add more beer
THE SAUCE
- 1 twenty four ounce bottle of your favorite hot sauce (ie: cholula)
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 5 tbs of non-dairy buttery spread
smash up garlic cloves | combine all ingredients in a pot | bring to a simmer
THE TEMPEH
- 2 eight ounce packages of organic tempeh
- cut into 1″ strips
boil tempeh for 15 minutes in salt water | let tempeh drain for 10 minutes on a paper towel covered try | fully coat tempeh strips in beer batter | deep fry in pure vegetable oil until lightly golden | coat in sauce | bake for 15-20 mins or until crispy
enjoy with non-dairy ranch or bleu cheese and celery
