This delightful dish brings together the nutty flavors of tempeh, the freshness of tomatoes, and a surprising twist of coffee! Perfect for a family meal, it’s low in carbs and high in flavor, making it a fantastic keto option.

Ingredients

  • 400g tempeh, cubed
  • 2 large ripe tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup brewed coffee (cooled)
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh herbs (like basil or parsley), for garnish

Instructions

  1. Start by drizzling a little olive oil over the cubed tempeh in a large microwave-safe bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, and toss it all together to coat evenly.
  2. Toss in the chopped tomatoes with the tempeh. The juicy tomatoes will add moisture and flavor, so don’t skimp on them!
  3. Carefully add the cooled brewed coffee to the bowl. This will enhance the savory flavor of the tempeh while adding a unique depth to the dish.
  4. Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid or plate and microwave on high for about 5-6 minutes. Keep an eye on it to ensure it heats evenly. Give it a stir halfway through!
  5. Once the tempeh is heated through and tender, remove it from the microwave. If it needs a little more time, feel free to pop it back in for an extra minute.
  6. Spoon the mixture into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs for a pop of color and flavor.

Gather around the table and enjoy this hearty, healthy dish with your family. It’s a simple yet impressive meal that showcases how easy it is to eat well and feel good together! Bon appétit!
