The versatile patty makes a smashing sandwich or a mouthwatering main dish. Serve on a sourdough roll with sliced apples, mustard and lettuce or dress it up like traditional chicken dishes- such as cacciatore or Southern stye with mashed potatoes and gravy.

Colorful kebabs served over pasta or rice make any get-together more festive. Grill at least four or five different vegetables, along with tempeh, tofu or another "mock meat".
