A Savory treat and a Sweet!! VEGAN.


Kale Tempeh Veggie Stir Fry


What you need:

2 Cups chopped organic Kale
1 cup chopped carrots
1/2 cup chopped sweet onions
1 clove garlic chopped
2 cups cubed tempeh
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large avocado for garnishing
2 tablespoons shelled hemp seeds
1/4 cup Annie's Sesame Ginger salad dressing

How to:
 Chop, slice, and cube ingredients and have ready to add to the pan. Heat cast iron pan to medium heat. Add olive oil, onions and carrots to pan, sauté until the onions are golden brown. Aprox. 5 min. Add tempeh, sauté with onions and carrots until sides are golden brown. Aprox. 3-5 min. (You may want to turn heat lower than medium so as not to burn tempeh, better slow cooked than burnt.) Turn heat off, add Kale and 1/4 cup of dressing, let simmer for 2-3 minutes. You want the Kale only slightly heated so as to soften the texture, but not too cooked so it gets soggy. Sprinkle hemp seeds over stir fry, and add sliced avocado.
This will make 2-4 servings, depending on how hungry you are!

Healthy bonuses:
*Shelled Hemp Seeds contain all the essential amino acids and essential fatty acids that our bodies need-making them a "complete protein."
*Tempeh is a great source of protein.
*Kale is very high in beta carotene, vitamin K, vitamin C, Lutein, and reasonably high in calcium.
