I ...I've never heard of peeling the chickpeas. I just whirl it all up together. It's probably not as smooth that way, but it probably has more fiber. :) The dish towel idea is great...I'll have to try that, especially if I'm making it to share. Your blog is great. I LOVE your recipes. Having so much fun making delicious food!

Although an omni restaurant here do a vegan salad with 'crispy tempeh' on top - will hopefully try that soon.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17733503025531290452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608706408360417857.post-77830007751999978272011-02-23T13:51:34.917+00:002011-02-23T13:51:34.917+00:00Thank you, that sounds a lot easier.

I would take me up to an hour to dehull enough soybeans to make a good sized block of tempeh.<br /><br />If you get the chance to try tempeh that's really, really fresh then go for it. I've only found it in shops twice, and to be honest it's not very nice if it's not very fresh. It has a sort of 'old biscuit tin' flavour to it after a little while.Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10361075668330834689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608706408360417857.post-39519310862919293032011-02-23T13:38:28.580+00:002011-02-23T13:38:28.580+00:00I don't know how it is with soy beans but with...I don't know how it is with soy beans but with tinned chickpeas they just slide off really. To speed it up I'll put them between dry dish towels and rub back and forth - most just slide off the rest I just squeeze off. I do have a lot of free time though! :-)<br /><br />Can you believe I've still never tried tempeh?Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17733503025531290452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608706408360417857.post-56727013863566082642011-02-23T13:31:36.790+00:002011-02-23T13:31:36.790+00:00Silly question, but how do you peel the chickpeas?...Silly question, but how do you peel the chickpeas?<br /><br />I'm thinking of trying to make tempeh with chickpeas instead of soy beans, but I'm a little worried about how much effort peeling the peas will be as it's a killer with soy beans.Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10361075668330834689noreply@blogger.com
