Dear Cancer Project supporter,

Sautés are a quick and simple way to ensure you are getting a lot of vegetables in one meal. Not only is it a great way to get young children to eat their vegetables, it also makes a colorful, tasty addition to the dinner table. Tempeh, which is made from fermented soybeans, is easy to digest and is incredibly high in protein. Just one serving of this recipe contains 20 grams of protein. Plus, the broccoli in this recipe adds highly absorbable calcium, and the whole dish takes just minutes to prepare.

Tempeh Broccoli

Directions

Makes 4 servings

1 package (10 ounces) tempeh
1/4 cup vegetable broth
2 bunches broccoli, chopped, or 2
bags (16 ounces each) frozen broccoli florets
1 small onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 tablespoon minced or pressed garlic
1 tablespoon peeled and minced fresh ginger, or 1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 cups cooked couscous, kept hot

Cut the tempeh into 1/2 inch cubes and steam for 10 minutes.

Heat the broth in a wok or large skillet and add the tempeh, broccoli, onion, bell pepper, garlic, and ginger. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until the tempeh is lightly browned and the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Add the soy sauce just before serving. Serve over the hot couscous.

Store in a covered container in the refrigerator, leftover Tempeh Broccoli Sauté will keep for up to 3 days.
