vinegar, dried thyme, paprika powder, and black pepper powder.

for 1 hour.

little bit smaller pieces.

inches of water in and let the water boil. Put the kale into the boiling
water and press it down.

of the water.
- When one side of the tempeh is brown enough, flip each piece
and then bake it for another 15 minutes.

bit of the marinade sauce in the pan.
