INGREDIENTS
170g Tempeh
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa (93g)
2 cups raw Spinach (60g)
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
1/8 cup Chickpeas (30g)
1 clove Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Slice the tempeh into 1/4-inch thick strips. In a small bowl, toss the tempeh with half of the lemon juice, a pinch of salt, pepper, and a touch of chopped parsley.
Grill the tempeh for about 3-4 minutes on each side until you see nice grill marks and it becomes heated through.
In a small saucepan, warm the cooked quinoa. Stir in the remaining lemon juice, chopped parsley, and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil along with the minced garlic. Sauté garlic for 30 seconds and then add the spinach. Cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach is just wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Lightly toss in the chickpeas into the spinach during the last minute of cooking to warm them through.
Plate the herbed quinoa as a base, arrange the grilled tempeh on top, and finish with a generous serving of sautéed spinach and chickpeas. Garnish with extra parsley if desired and serve immediately.
