Method

  1. To Make The Tempeh Salad: Fill a large skillet three-quarters of the way with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Place the tempeh in the water, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes. In a medium-size bowl combine the pepper and turmeric. Drain the tempeh and cut into 6 mm cubes. While still warm, coat the tempeh with the spice mixture. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tempeh and cook for 5 minutes, stirring until golden. Put the tempeh back in the spice mix. Add the bell pepper, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke heart, celery, olive, pepperoncini, basil and parsley. Stir to combine. Add the mayonnaise, lemon juice and vinegar. stir well and adjust the seasoning. Refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to use.
  2. To Assemble The Sandwiches: Preheat a panini press on high. Butter one side of each bread slice. Place 1/4 cup spinach on 4 of unbuttered slice. Top with 3/4 cup tempeh salad and another slice of bread with the buttered side out. Place in the press, close the press and grill for 8-10 minutes, or until golden. Cut in half on the diagonal and serve.
