"There is something about lemon and tempeh. A number of commercial tempeh patties that are designed to be baked or grilled are first marinated in lemon. Try this easy recipe to make your own marinade."... From The Simple Soybean and Your Health, pp. 209, Mark & Virginia Messina with Kenneth Sechtel.

Preheat the oven to 400øF.

In a 2-quart casserole dish, combine the tempeh and the onions; pour the marinade over them. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
