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.
