Herbed Vegan Ricotta Cheese
Tempeh
In a warm skillet add 1 tablespoon olive oil and chopped shallots. Cook until they are translucent and starting to brown. (about 3-4 minutes). Stirring occasionally so that some do not burn.
Once they brown add the rest of the olive oil. Add the crumbled tempeh, garlic, tamari, and harissa spice.
Cook on medium heat stirring once with a metal spatula. Let it cook for a few minutes and brown on the bottom (about 2-3 minutes). Then stir again. And scrape with a spatula. Keep doing this until the moisture and oils are all soaked in and tempeh looks nicely browned, dry, and cooked.
Turn off heat. Set aside.
Roasted Peppers
Preheat oven to 420 degrees F.
Grease the pan with olive or coconut oil.
Cut the peppers into little strips.
Lay them flat, not overlapping each other. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper.
Cook until they soften and maybe get a tad brown on the edges. About 10-12 minutes.
