Description: Surata Makes 5 Kinds of Tempeh.
There are tempehs I don't care much for, but Surata Tempeh is consistently, exceptionally good! Surata tempeh has a long shelf life (in the refrigerator, up to a month), and freezes well. I stock up to have a variety on hand, especially for those times I need a quick and easy meal before our B&B guests arrive. On the back of the tempeh package you will find delicious recipes; check for many more online. The co-mingling of textures and flavors are absolutely terrific.
Surata's "Indian Feast" is a blend of their Curry Lentil Tempeh and cubes potatoes cooked to a golden brown. To this you add cashews, apple, onion, carrot, celery, garlic, ginger, coriander, peas, green beans, raisins, cauliflower, cumin, curry, garam marsala, and vegetable broth. This fragrant and spicy dish is served ona bed of rice.
I hope listing this banquet of ingredients 'tempehs' you to try it, if you haven't already!
[Tempeh ingredients: organic non-GMO soybeans, water, land organic: lentils, rice, millet, vinegar, herbs,spices, and tempeh culture].

HA! Excellent - I thrive on terrible/awesome puns :)
Jenn A. says:
Sounds good - where is it available? I don't think I've seen it at Whole Foods...
Cris B. says:
Okay, Jenn, here's the deal - Surata Soy Foods does business in OR, WA, ID, MT, NV and parts of N. CA - You can buy it in Eugene at Market of Choice, Capella's Market, Fred Meyer, Kiva and Sundance. At Fred Meyer on West 11th you can buy it frozen. Because it freezes well, you could have it shipped frozen in a cardboard box, packed in dry ice. If a bunch of you at the office wanted to place an order (perhaps get a better price - this is me talking, I don't know if a discount is possible) and keep shipping costs down, you could give Shevach a call Surata Soy Foods at 541.485.6990. This is all I can tell you after placing a call to the company. Nice folks!

Wow - Eugene is *really* N. California! I'm always interested in a better tempeh - the stuff that is usually available down here is sometimes variable (ie, soaks up all the oil instead of browning - wtf?)
