Coconut tempeh stew

This is a simple 1 pot dish.....cooking a meal from scratch could not be easier! Tempeh is a great source of protein and really easy to work with. It has a strong flavour so can stand up to other strong flavours such as tamari or spices, as in this dish.

1/2 block tempeh, cut into small cubes

1 medium-sized sweet potato, cut into cubes, no need to peel

Method

  1. Add all of the ingredients to your pan

  2. Pour in enough water so the ingredients are just covered

  3. Bring to the boil on a high heat then reduce to a simmer

  4. Add a little hot water if the pan dries out too much (I keep a full kettle on stand by for dishes like this)

  5. Cook for around 30-40 minutes until the sweet potatoes are cooked through and the onions no longer taste raw.

  6. Serve....it's that simple!!!


Notes

  • Top with seeds if you wish, I used a lovely combination of pumpkin seeds, buckwheat, sunflower seeds and pine nuts.
