Tempeh: of Indonesian origin, is fermented soybean patty made from split,
hulled and cooked soybeans. The soybeans are inoculated with a starter and
fermented for 24 hours to produce an extra firm tofu with a chewy quality
similar to meat. Tempeh is sold frozen in health food stores.

In large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; cook tempeh with 1/2 cup
water, stirring, for 5 minutes or until browned. Add onion, green pepper
and garlic; cook, covered and stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until
onions are softened.

Chop tomatoes; add to mixture along with beans, tomato paste, vinegar,
molasses, soy sauce, mustard, chili powder, basil, oregano, salt and
pepper. Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
