Ingredients:

Patties:
4 packs or 800g Holy Plantz tempeh
1/2 onion
4 garlic cloves
1 bunch cilantro
1 bunch parsley
1/4 spicy green pepper
Zest of 1 lemon
1 tsp cumin
1 flat tbsp salt
1/2 tsp caraway seeds
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
2 tbsp chickpea flour (egg substitute)

Sauce:
3 red bell peppers, sliced into strips
1 green pepper, sliced into strips
1 whole spicy pepper
10 garlic cloves, sliced
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tbsp crushed sweet dried pepper
4 whole dried sweet peppers
4 pieces preserved lemon
1 lemon, sliced with peel removed
1 bunch cilantro
6–7 Magi tomatoes, quartered
1 heaped tbsp sweet paprika in oil
1 tbsp salt
1 tsp cumin
2 cups cooked chickpeas (fresh, frozen, or canned)

Instructions

Cooking time: Time 3 hrs

Serves: 6-8

  1. Prepare the tempeh mixture: 
    Add the onion, garlic, cilantro, and parsley to a food processor and blend until finely chopped. Transfer to a large bowl and add the Holy Plantz tempeh, lemon zest, cumin, salt, caraway seeds, breadcrumbs, and chickpea flour. Mix well until fully combined.

  2. Shape and fry the patties: 
    Form the mixture into patties and gently flatten into small discs. Heat about 1cm of oil in a pan and fry the patties until deeply golden on both sides. Set aside.

  3. Prepare the sauce:
    In a wide sauté pan or shallow pot, add the ingredients in this order: Olive oil, crushed sweet dried pepper, garlic, red peppers, green pepper, dried sweet peppers, preserved lemon, sliced lemon, Magi tomatoes, cilantro, harissa, paprika, cumin, salt, and a small drizzle of olive oil on top. Cover and cook for about 30 minutes until the vegetables soften and release their liquids.

  4. Build the sauce:
    Add 2 cups water and 2 cups cooked chickpeas. Cook for another 30 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

  5. Finish cooking:
    Add the tempeh patties to the sauce. Cover and simmer over low heat for another 1-1½ hours so the patties absorb all the flavor.

  6. Serve:
    Serve with fresh challah and enjoy.
