Barbecue Tempeh Bowl

By

Normally when making a bowl like this, I like to make everything from scratch. Today was an exception. I wanted to eat more than I wanted to cook, so I took some help from the grocery store and purchased BBQ sauce and baked beans. Then, I simply cooked the tempeh in the sauce and made a quick slaw while the collards were steaming.

Serves 3

Ingredients:
2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
16 oz. tempeh, medium cubed
1 cup barbecue sauce
1 cup water
1 bunch collard greens, steamed
1-15 oz. can vegan baked beans

Directions:

1. Saute the tempeh in olive oil until brown and crispy, 5-7 minutes.

2. Add the barbecue sauce and water and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the sauce is thick.

3. Serve the tempeh in a bowl with steamed collards, baked beans, and slaw.

Beet & Carrot Slaw

Ingredients:
2 cups shredded green cabbage
1 cup shredded raw beets
1 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup thinly sliced sugar snap peas
1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise
1 Tbs Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp dried dill
1/4 tsp pepper

Directions: Combine all of the slaw ingredients together and chill for at least 15 minutes before serving. When ready to eat, taste, and season with salt if necessary.
