READER'S COMMENT:

"This was GREAT and so high protein. I made it exactly as written. Well worth the calories and very filling. I actually think, as another commenter noted, it would do well as six servings instead of four. I almost couldn't finish mine. "

A perfect "meatless Monday" lunch!

My guy was not thrilled when I told him we should try to go meatless one day/week, but actually really liked this dish. I didn't have tempeh on hand so instead I pressed extra firm tofu inbetween towels (to remove moisture) and crumbled it into the pan. I prefer tempeh since it is less processed, though more calories than tofu, but the tofu substitute worked really well. I'm going to reduce the honey next time, as another comment suggests, because I found it to be a little too sweet (strange since I have a sweet tooth). I didn't try it warm, just chilled, since I made it the night before for lunch. It was perfect like that.

Pros: Easy/fast, relatively small ingredients list

Loved this, but we did reduce the honey to 1 TBS, and add some red pepper flakes to the tempeh during browning. The recipe, for us, was easily six servings - filling and delicious!

Even the kids devoured it! We're going to make this again and again and again . . . .

We really enjoyed this dish. I made the full recipe for the quinoa and carrot slaw and halved the Tempeh part since we only needed two servings. The quinoa and carrot slaw is really good on its own. It was good cold too. We ate it as a side dish the next day. I didn't change anything in the ingredients and plan on making it again the same way.
