  • 40g vegan butter

instructions

  9. Once the potatoes are ready, use a potato masher or a fork to mash them up, before adding in the salt, pepper, garlic and vegan butter. Keep mixing the mash until a smooth consistency forms.
  10. Serve up the tempeh and mash, and drizzle the BBQ sauce on top.
