Vegetable Tempeh Mash

I have to confess, this dish was supposed to be tempeh veggie burgers, but I just could not get them to bind up.  So alas, the tempeh vegetable mash was born!  It is really tasty.  Sometimes you have to make a mistake to discover something wonderful. 🙂

I ate this dish as is, but it would go well into a whole wheat hot dog bun too.  Or, you could serve it over some rice or quinoa.
