Recipe Review
Leeka from Hamilton, ON
I did not think this was going to be as good as it was but wow, it was delicious. I think leaving it on the stove for an hour after it was done while I made biscuits contributed to the rich flavour that resulted.
The recipe called for 4 teaspoons of smoked paprika and I thought that was too much so I used 2 teaspoons of smoked and 2 teaspoons of regular paprika. I think it was the right decision. I also subbed a small can of plain tomato sauce in place of crushed tomatoes which I didn't have and added a bit more veggie stock. I left out the lima beans.
The resulting soupy stew had a deep, smokey, tomato flavour and lots of greens. I think this is the first tempeh recipe I've given five stars.

Lee, how do you get smoked paprika? Is it something they sell in stores?

Hi Rachel,
Yes, it's sold in the spice section. It may not be as common as some other spices but I found it in a large grocery store. It has a very strong, distinctive smell and flavour. It's been a bit of an acquired taste for me to be used sparingly.
