Tempeh Paprikash is a traditional Hungarian dish that has been adapted to suit a vegan diet. The dish is hearty and satisfying and is perfect for those looking for a meat-free alternative to traditional comfort food. Tempeh, a fermented soybean product, is used in place of meat and adds a unique flavor and texture to the dish. The paprika used in this recipe gives the dish a vibrant red color and a rich, smoky flavor that pairs perfectly with the tempeh and onions. This recipe is perfect for a cozy night in or for sharing with friends and family.
