  • 1/4 cup very finely chopped onion
  • 3/4 cup bottled barbecue sauce
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika or barbecue seasoning, or more to taste
  • 2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoon sriracha or other hot sauce, or to taste
Directions
  1. Cut the block of tempeh into a fewchunks. Combine the tempeh andmushrooms in a food processor andpulse until themixtureis reduced to crumbles. Take care not to over do it—you don’t want to wind up with a puree.

  3. Add the barbecue sauce, paprika, chili powder, and oregano. Continue to cook until the mixture begins to brown lightly, turning it over frequently, about 10 minutes
  4. Remove from the heat and season with hot sauce and additional paprika, if desired.
  5. Store leftovers in the refrigerator in a well-sealed container for up to four days, or freeze for later use.
