Lunch

Jammin’

Holy moly on a poly, this sandwich…..!

Sorry. I’m getting all hot and bothered just by looking at it again. It was that good. Simple, too. And did I mention delicious? Done and done.
Tempeh, Goat Cheese and Raspberry Jam Sandwich
1 sandwich roll (I use Whole Foods brand 100 calorie sandwich thins)
1/3rd block of tempeh, sliced into two thin parts
1 tbsp raspberry preserves
1 ounce goat cheese
Smash yo’ jam, cheese and tempeh together on the roll. Devour.
I’m off to go close the blinds and lick the jam jar. Someone stop me…….I dare you.

    Hi Jenna,

    I may have missed this in past posts, but where do you buy your Tempeh? Is it sold at TJs?

    Thanks!

    I can’t wait to have goats cheese again! I’ve had to give it up during my pregnancy but with baby coming this week, you can bet i’ll be buying some SOON! 🙂

    I LOVE tempeh/jam sandwiches. I add dijon and spinach/greens to mine.

  • Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine

    This combo always makes my mouth water, but for some reason I never have all of the ingredients on hand at the same time. Oh, and licking the jam jar = totally acceptable.

    Goat cheese + jam is SUCH a great combo. Actually, goat cheese + anything is a good combo. I’m pretty sure goat cheese + dog poop is a good combo.

    Jenna,

    That looks flippin’ amazing! I had tempeh for the first time yesterday because for some reason I never thought it was gluten free! I will have to try that sammich on some of my GF bread or perhaps wrap. I have some fig goat cheese, so I will throw that on there instead…i’m sure it’s gonna rock my world 🙂

    Your blog lately seems repetitive and honestly really boring. I don’t know how any one would want to comment on picture of a sandwich ???

    • Jenny
      June 21, 2010 at 4:27 pm

      You kind of just did, Kate.

      June 21, 2010 at 6:25 pm

      I don’t know why anyone would bother taking time out of their day to leave a nasty comment just because they didn’t like the blog content. Move on if that’s the case.

    So jealous..that looks delish!
    I wish I could find tempeh somewhere.

    I so want to like tempeh because that really offers so many more options to my veggie eating, but, ugh! Someone please tell me what is to like about it??

    And, um, Kate #33, I’m going to give you the attention you obviously crave and answer: because a tempeh, cheese and jam sandwich isn’t something most people would think of or try without this post–as you can tell from the comments above. That’s the point of a food blog. To talk about food.

  • Kristen

    I just tried this combo using organic tempeh, goat cheddar, and swiss raspberry jam. I’m pretty sure I am in love. I can’t wait for dinner so I can eat this again… 😉

    Whoa… saw the reference to this in your latest post about baking rolls. I thought….eew, tempeh and jam!? Okay, I can see the goat cheese and jam… but tempeh… just never thought of as something to go with something sweet. But I trust you. If you say it is good, I will try it!
