Tempeh is a viable alternative to tofu for a second protein dish, but at the same time light and rich in flavor. In this recipe I wanted to create a blend of this Indonesian food and ingredients that are part of our Mediterranean cuisine
Heat 2-3 tablespoons of EVO oil in a non-stick low pan. Let us brown the garlic cloves to flavor the oil.
Once the oil is seasoned and the garlic has browned, remove the cloves and put the tempeh in the pan, cut into squares (or striped if you prefer).
Make it fire heavily supported. Meanwhile, cut the eggplant slices into strips and cut the tomatoes (I made them half in the middle and the other in 4 cloves).
Add to the tempeh the eggplant strings and skip all together, if necessary add a drop of water to facilitate cooking.
After a few minutes add a pinch of salt, tomatoes, olives, capers (if you use those under the salt I recommend rinse them first under the running water) and pine nuts.
Take a few minutes in the meantime in a bowl pour the maize (or potato starch), the water and the shoyu and mix well.
Pour it into the pan and mix it with the rest of the ingredients - it will make everything more creamy.
Jump for a few moments and just before extinguishing the fire add the basil leaves.
Impress and taste this dish rich in flavor and very good colors is just hot made, which at room temperature as a second substantial but at the same time very light.
