Costillas veganas de tempeh a la barbacoa

Ingredientes

• 1 pkg Tempeh ((12 oz))
• 2 Tbs Apple Juice
• 2-3 Tbs BBQ Rub
• 2 cups Hickory Wood Chips ((for outdoor smoking))
• 1/4 cup Paprika
• 2 Tbs Kosher Salt
• 2 Tbs Chili Powder
• 2 Tbs Brown Sugar
• 1 Tbs Black Pepper
• 2 tsp Garlic Powder
• 2 tsp Onion Powder
• 1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper (or more to taste)

Preparación

1. 1

   If using outdoor grill or smoker: Soak Hickory Wood Chips in water for at least 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Prepare ribs by slicing Tempeh into 6" long strips about 1" wide.

3. 3

   Brush ribs with Apple Juice and then liberally apply rub working it into all the nooks and crannies of the Tempeh.

4. 4

   Place ribs on grate as far away from the coals as possible (indirect-heat). Add a handful of soaked Hickory Chips to coals and allow Tempeh to smoke in low-heat (250 degrees F) for 1 hour. Occasionally add more chips to coals for a smokier flavor.

5. 5

   Additionally, spritz (or brush) Apple Juice on ribs occasionally to keep them from drying out.

6. 6

   Finally, move the ribs down to the direct heat and slather with your favorite BBQ sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, turn and apply more sauce until a nice crust or bark is formed.

7. 7

   Serve with your favorite BBQ Sides, like my Coleslaw or Potato Salad.
