This festive tropical coconut parmentier made with ginger marinated tempeh and grilled pineapple will bring a hint of exoticism to your plate!

Ingredients

Scale

For the ginger marinated tempeh:

  • 1 package (8 oz/225g) tempeh*, cut into bite sized pieces
  • 4 Tablespoons soy sauce (gluten free)
  • 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh ginger, grated

For mashed potatoes:

  • 2,2 lb (1 kg) potatoes
  • 1/2 can coconut milk, cream only
  • 4 Tablespoons shredded coconut flakes, powdered
  • Salt & fresh ground pepper
  • 4–8 large pineapple slices (fresh or canned)

Instructions

  1. For the marinated tempeh: place tempeh in a glass bowl. Whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic cloves and ginger in a smaller bowl. Pour over tempeh and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour minimum, turning once.
  2. For the mashed potatoes: cook the potatoes in a large amount of water with salt until fork tender. Drain, mash, and add the coconut cream (the harder part of coconut milk). Pulse coconut flakes in a food processor until you get a sandy texture and add to the mashed potatoes. Season with salt and pepper, and stir well.
  3. Drain the tempeh and keep the marinade.
  4. For the pineapple: line a baking tray with parchment paper. Display the pineapple slices, brush with the remaining marinade, and grill at 400°F (200°C) for about 5-8 minutes, until golden. Flip it over and grill the over side. Remove from the oven and reserve.
  5. Heat sesame oil in a frying pan and once hot, throw in the tempeh, and sauté until brown and slightly crispy.
  6. Using a cookie cutter, place one pineapple slice at the bottom, top with the tempeh and cover with coconut mashed potato. Enjoy!

Notes

* You can replace tempeh with seitan if you wish.
NB: choose carefully your tempeh if you are gluten intolerant, to make sure yours is gluten free.
