Loved this recipe! As suggested by other reviewers I marinated the tempeh in the soy sauce, lime juice, and a clove of minced garlic(cause my roomie loves it!) first. Only as long as it took me to prep the other ingredients. The only other changes I made were in using Italian parsley instead of cilantro, since I hate the stuff and adding water as it cooked to keep everything from drying out too much. Delicious!

I let the tempeh marinate a little while in the soy sauce and lime juice with a little garlic powder to add flavour. Also, to prevent dryness, I kept most of the water from the spinach and the mushrooms & kept a careful eye on the moisture level while cooking. Very juicy and delicious!

I am not a vegetarian but this looked good so I thought I'd try it. This being a fajita recipe, I decided to prepare this with Zatarain's Spanish Rice, and the combination just made this a definite keeper and it may even become a staple for us. Thanks for the recipe Karen :)

We tossed in some grilled hot peppers and had an incredible dinner. Quick and easy, a must try.

So good and so easy! I didn't have spinach or mushrooms so I used fresh corn and black beans instead. I also used fresh garlic and chopped onion rather than the onion flakes. I will certainly make this again. (o:

Not really good. Roasted veggie fajitas or even just avocado and salsa ones would have been better....

To make this, I marinated the tempeh in the lime/soy sauce mixture before sauteeing. It turned out really well - not too salty, and not too acidic. We had this with blue corn chips and guacamole. Thanks for the recipe! :)

Very tasty. I had to cut the recipe in half, so it may not have produced as much fluid as it should have at the full serving size. As a result, the lime, although meant to be subtle, did not come through as much and it was a little dry. Otherwise, an excellent recipe.
