Imagine a latke or potato pancake with flecks of savory-spiced tempeh, green onion, and bell pepper and fried to crispy goodness. That's what Dan's tempeh tater cakes are all about (the recipe is here). So delicious, and the recipe makes a ton. I topped mine with a little organic ketchup because potatoes LOVE ketchup!On the side, I developed a Smoky Stewed Okra & Tomatoes recipe for the cookbook:
Down South, stewed okra and 'maters is a big deal. But most folks season it with real bacon. Pig bacon = grossout, so mine's cruelty-free. I'm certain it'd rival Paula Deen's version anyway. Bring it on, Paula!Testers...there are two new recipes posted to the top-secret tester site! :-)

I've really needed an okra recipe....I have so much from my csa and couldn't possibly use it all! I had an okra challenge on my blog, but not really any takers, sigh....
I love ketchup too. And you can't beat okra and tomatoes. So so good. Thank you for the lovely compliment on my blog. You are an amazing chef yourself. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Jessy is the best! And both those potato tempeh patties and the okra and tomatoes look amazing. I love me some okra, I can't wait to try this.
Thanks for posting the tempeh cakes! They look amazing and anything created by Jessy is sure to be fantastic! And okra is just so interesting that I love eating it for curiousity value alone...the weird gluey nature of the inside always gets me....I like the idea of making it nice and smoky.
Ooh okra and tomatoes -- yum! :)
I came across your blog on Choosing Raw. It's a great one!
Okra and tomatoes are the perfect couple! Those tempeh cakes look really good too!!
Hi Bianca - found my way here via your guest post at Choosing Raw, and am delighted to find that you're a girl after my own heart! Southern heart, that is. Though I live in Brooklyn, I have southern blood running in my veins via dad's side of the family, so I'm loving your penchant for all things beans and cornbread, hold the bacon gunk. Looking forward to enjoying your southern flavors! :)
