Tempeh Greens Scramble
Tempeh has a chewy taste that may take some getting used to; it keeps well in the refrigerator, though, so if you've never tried it, pick up a
a package next time you're at the health food store.
Tempeh is a cultured soy food that comes from Indonesia.
It is high in protein and is a good vegetarian substitute for tofu (which is not as healthy because it is not cultured).
Like tofu, tempeh takes on the flavor of the seasonings it is cooked with, so don't be afraid to be generous with herbs and spices that you like when cooking this tempeh greens scramble. Feel free to add additional veggies as well: red or yellow bell peppers and zucchini can be added in with the onions, for example, but this dish lends itself well to just about any vegetables you may have on hand.
