Step 1

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.

Add onions, garlic, celery and carrot and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Add tempeh and continue to cook for 4 to 6 minutes until tempeh begins to turn golden brown.

Stir in mushrooms, thyme and stock. Add tomato sauce, stir and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally for 25 minutes.
