Ingredients

  • tempeh180 g
  • sweet potato200 g
  • oat cooking cream100 ml
  • green beans100 g
  • olive oil10 g
  • soy sauce10 ml
  • maple syrup10 g

  • nutmeg1 g
  • cracked black pepper2 g
  • flat-leaf parsley10 g

Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Pat the tempeh (180 g) dry and cut it into a single 2 cm thick slab.

  2. 2

    Score the top of the slab 2 mm deep in a criss-cross, then leave it for 20 minutes in the soy sauce (10 ml), maple syrup (10 g) and cracked pepper (2 g).

  3. 3

    Slice the sweet potato (200 g) into 2 mm rounds on a mandoline and toss them with the oat cream (100 ml), crushed garlic (5 g), nutmeg (1 g), salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Arrange the rounds in a rosette in an oiled dish (5 g) and bake for 45 minutes, until a blade slides through without resistance.

  5. 5

    Lay the tempeh scored-side down in a hot pan with 5 g of oil and sear it for 4 minutes over medium heat without touching it, until a clear brown crust forms.

  6. 6

    Turn it for 3 minutes, pour in the remaining marinade and let it caramelise for 2 minutes, spooning it over.

  7. 7

    Cook the green beans (100 g) for 8 minutes in boiling salted water, then refresh them in iced water to set the colour.

  8. 8

    Rest the tempeh for 3 minutes, slice it on the bias and plate it over the gratin with the green beans and chopped parsley (10 g).
