Tempeh Kale

Used tempeh for the first time. It is a hard cake of some pressed tofu type of material. After you cut it up into squares or strips, you soak it for 20 minutes in a mixture of soy sauce, water, garlic and ginger. I built my recipe off the "basic tempeh" recipe found at the Tofurky site. I bought an 8oz cake of tempeh and used about 1/2 of it for my concoction.

Saute:
1 tsp olive oil
1/4 C onion, chopped


Add:
1 yellow pepper, diced
4 oz Tempeh, sliced in 1/4 in pieces or 1/4 thick squares


Add and cook down the liquid a bit:
1/2 C diced tomoatoes, canned type, use their juice too.
3 Tbsp soy sauce, lite
1 Tbsp white wine
1 Tbsp cooking sherry
1 tsp balsamic vinegar


Add, cover and wilt:
1 C kale, ripped to bite size pieces


Mix it all up and serve.


Rated a 4.6 on the Kale Scale.
