Instructions
- 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.
- Toss in the chopped tomatoes with the tempeh. The juicy tomatoes will add moisture and flavor, so don’t skimp on them!
- 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.
- 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!
- 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.
