I made this for my vegetarian fiancé and I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out - but it was great! We both loved the flavor of the tempeh and the mushrooms really add a lot. I would definitely recommend this dish and I am going to make it again sometime, for sure!

Wonderfully earthy and hearty. I highly recommend adding the lemon rind garnish, since the lemon flavor it imparted was spectacular. My fiance did think that it was too thick (even though it was supposed to be!) so I watered down his serving with more vegetable broth, and then he gobbled it up.
