"This protein-rich vegetarian (vegan) recipe is from "Cooking Light Magazine". Chill the tempeh well before slicing so it will be less apt to crumble. This recipe requires at least 3 hours of marinating, the longer the better. Serve with whole-grain burger buns, and whatever toppings you enjoy!"

This was simple and had a great taste! I love the marinade! Next time I will let it marinade longer (I only waited about 2 1/2 hours). I will definitely make these again!
