Quinoa Bowl with Grilled Tempeh and Sautéed Kale
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 1 block of tempeh, sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cups kale, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce and olive oil. Brush the tempeh slices with the mixture and grill on a preheated grill or grill pan for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, and sauté for 1 minute. Add the chopped kale and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, and water to make a creamy dressing.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked quinoa among 4 bowls. Top with the grilled tempeh, sautéed kale, and sliced avocado. Drizzle with the tahini dressing. Enjoy!
