This combo has the same flavour profile as Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner – covering steamed greens with gravy really makes them feel like a treat! This is the perfect thing to eat if you need some quick energy but don’t want to be weighed down.
Ingredients (Serves 2)
8 cups | mixed greens (kale, bok choy, Swiss chard) |
1 cup (250 ml) | Roasted Mushroom Gravy, heated |
2 tsp | sunflower seeds |
4 pieces | Herb-Marinated Tempeh, grilled |
Directions
Tip: To steam greens – If you have a steamer insert, bring 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) of water to a boil in your saucepan. Add greens to the steamer insert, place over the boiling water, cover with lid, and steam for 3 to 5 minutes or until greens are tender and vibrant green. If you don’t have an insert, place 2 or 3 tbsp (30 to 45 mL) of water in the bottom of a large wok or pan, top with mixed greens, cover with a lid, and cook over high heat until greens are tender. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to remove steamed greens so you don’t add water to your dish.

Herb-Marinated Tempeh
This simple and delicious tempeh marinade lets the natural nutty flavour of tempeh shine through. Marinate the tempeh for an hour or even for up to a couple of days.
You can cook tempeh any number of ways. We grill it at the restaurants, but at home you can cook it under the broiler, in a panini grill, on a barbecue, or in a frying pan with some oil.
2 cups (500 ml) | water |
1/2 cup (125 ml) | tamari |
1/4 cup (60 ml) | pure dark maple syrup |
2 tbsp (30 ml) | roughly chopped fresh rosemary |
2 tbsp (30 ml) | fresh thyme leaves |
2 tbsp (30 ml) | roughly chopped fresh sage |
1 block (9 oz/250 g) | tempeh, cut into slices or triangles |
