INGREDIENTS
110 grams Tempeh
1/4 cup cooked Quinoa
1/4 cup roasted Chickpeas
1/2 cup fresh Spinach
1 tsp Tahini
1 tsp Lemon Juice
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Press the tempeh gently to remove any excess moisture and slice it into bite-sized cubes.
Marinate the tempeh cubes with a pinch of salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and pan-fry the tempeh until golden and crispy on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
For the chickpeas, if not using pre-roasted, toss cooked chickpeas with a sprinkle of smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes until crispy.
In a bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, roasted chickpeas, and fresh spinach.
Prepare the lemon tahini dressing by whisking together tahini, lemon juice, a tiny splash of water to achieve a drizzleable consistency, and a pinch of salt.
Assemble the bowl by adding the crispy tempeh on top of the quinoa mixture and drizzle with the lemon tahini dressing.
Toss gently to combine all flavors and serve immediately.
