It sounds yummy :9

Enjoy!

Ingredients

* 1 pound (two 8-ounce packages) tempeh, sliced horizontally into 1/2-inch fingers
* 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
* 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
* 1 teaspoon onion powder
* 2 teaspoons garlic powder
* 1 teaspoon paprika
* 1 teaspoon chili powder
* 1/2 teaspoon red chile flakes
* 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
* 1 teaspoon dried thyme
* 1 teaspoon dried oregano
* Freshly ground black pepper
* 2 large green bell peppers, cored, ribs and seeds removed, and cut into long strips (1/4 inch wide)
* 1/4 cup tomato paste
* 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
* 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
* 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
* 2 whole-wheat baguettes

Instructions

1. In a large bowl combine the tempeh fingers with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and toss well.

2. Warm 4 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tempeh fingers and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, adding more oil if necessary, until lightly browned. Turn the fingers over and cook for 5 to 7 minutes more, until lightly browned on the other side. Transfer the tempeh to a large plate lined with paper towels.

3. Combine 2 tablespoons of the olive oil with the onion, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, red chili flakes, cayenne, thyme, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Slowly sauté for 15 minutes, stirring often to prevent burning, until well caramelized.

4. Preheat oven to 350°F.

5. Add the green bell peppers and more oil if needed, and sauté for 10 more minutes, or until the bell peppers are softened.

6. In a large bowl combine 2 cups water, and the tomato paste, maple syrup, vinegar, and 2 teaspoons salt. Whisk well. Add the canned tomatoes with their juices and the onion–green pepper mixture. Stir well.

7. Place the tempeh in a large casserole dish. Pour the sauce on top, covering all the tempeh fingers.

8. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 1 hour, or until most of the sauce is absorbed.

9. Cut each baguette in half widthwise and then slice each half lengthwise, you would for a sandwich. Place about 5 tempeh fingers on one slice, making sure you cover it with plenty of sauce, and place another slice on top.
