Amazing Orange Glazed Tempeh

I can hardly contain my excitement!! I just had my favorite meal so far of 2012!  If you are reading this, you MUST make this tempeh right now... stop checking facebook and pinterest - get to Trader Joes or another health food store, buy some tempeh and stuff your face!

Orange Glazed Tempeh

Ingredients

• 8-10oz block of tempeh
• 1 cup orange juice
• 2 garlic cloves - minced/pressed
• 1 TBSP grated ginger (store ginger in the freezer - it keeps longer and makes it super easy to grate)
• 2 tsp tamari (or soy sauce)
• 2 tsp maple syrup
• 1 tsp white wine 
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp ground coriander

Directions

• In a small bowl mix: OJ, garlic, ginger, tamari, maple syrup, wine, sugar & coriander 
• Chop up tempeh - I sliced it in half width wise to make the slices thinner, then cut it into bit size pieces

• Drizzle about 2 tbsp safflower oil in a pan - heat over med/high heat until it gets hot (but not yet smoking)
• Throw in tempeh in a single layer 

• Brown for about 3-4 minutes then flip 

• Brown other side for another 3-4 minutes 
• Pour sauce over tempeh

• Let the sauce cook down for about 5-10 minutes over medium heat, it should get nice & thick
• I served it over brown rice & broccoli - delish!! 
• **Next time I may double the sauce so that it coats broccoli too** 

I hope you enjoy this as much as we did!!

Peas & Love,
