Chilli Mango Tempeh Lettuce Cups Recipe

Description:

The Chilli Mango Tempeh Lettuce Cups present a stunning medley of colors and textures. The lettuce leaves are crisp and vibrant green, perfectly cradling the colorful filling of golden mango, warm brown tempeh, and bright red bell pepper. Each cup is a delightful contrast of fresh greens and rich, flavorful ingredients that peek out, enticing you to taste them. The slices of avocado add a creamy element that complements the zesty mango and spicy tempeh. Garnished with fresh cilantro and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, the dish is not only visually appealing but also evokes a sense of freshness and tropical flair, making it a refreshing option for any dining occasion.


Ingredients:

  • - 1 block of tempeh, crumbled
  • - 1 ripe mango, diced
  • - 1 tablespoon chili paste or sauce (adjust according to heat preference)
  • - 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • - 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • - 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • - 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • - 1 clove garlic, minced
  • - 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • - 1 cup red bell pepper, diced
  • - 1 avocado, sliced
  • - 1 head of butter or romaine lettuce, leaves separated
  • - Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • - Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. 1. In a large pan over medium heat, add the sesame oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and chopped red onion. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. 2. Add the crumbled tempeh to the pan and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently until it starts to brown slightly.
  3. 3. Stir in the chili paste, soy sauce, lime juice, honey (or maple syrup), and diced red bell pepper. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the tempeh to absorb the flavors and the bell pepper to soften.
  4. 4. Remove from heat and gently fold in the diced mango, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  5. 5. To assemble, take a lettuce leaf and spoon a generous amount of the tempeh and mango mixture into the center.
  6. 6. Top each cup with a slice of avocado and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro and sesame seeds if desired.
  7. 7. Serve immediately for a fresh, vibrant appetizer or light meal.
