1/4 tsp kosher salt and pepper for roasting
1 tbsp avocado oil for roasting
2 plant-based sausages
1/2 small yellow onion, finely chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup (packed) marinated artichokes, drained and chopped

Creamy Butter Tempeh with Garlic Naan

Ingredients

For the curry:
1 brown onion
4-5 garlic cloves
1 inch piece ginger
2 tbsp garam masala
1 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp coriander
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (or to desired heat)
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 can chopped tomatoes
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 can coconut cream
1 tbsp liquid sweetener
1/3 cup cashews
salt to taste

For the tempeh:
1 block tempeh/tofu
1/2 cup coconut yoghurt (or any plant-based yogurt)
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp coriander
1 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp salt

Method

Pre-heat oven to 180C / 350F.


Dice up the tempeh into cubes. Add to a bowl along with all other tempeh ingredients, mix well so tempeh is well coated. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the tempeh cubes onto the paper evenly spread so they have space to bake.


Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, then take out and flip and bake for a further 15 minutes. Whilst the tempeh is baking, you can start the curry.


In a medium sized pot, heat 1 tbsp oil on medium heat. Add in onion with a pinch of salt and sautรฉ until soft.


Next, add in the garlic, ginger and spices. Sautรฉ for 5 or so minutes, staring occasionally and adding water if it starts to stick to the bottom.


Then, add in the rest of the ingredients (tomato paste, chopped tomatoes, cashews and coconut cream) and let this simmer for 15-20 minutes.


Then, either with an immersion blender or transferring the sauce into a blender, blend until smooth. Add in salt to taste, and then the tempeh and your curry is ready to be served.

3 tbsp olive oil extra virgin, divided
3 garlic cloves whole
3 baby bell peppers halved
2 cups cauliflower florets
8 oz farro cooked according to package and cooled
1 bunch kale washed, stemmed and chopped in bite sized pieces

ยฝ tsp garlic powder
1 cup kabocha squash cubed

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F


Spread cauliflower florets, garlic cloves, bell peppers and kabocha squash in a single layer on a sheet pan. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, a pinch of salt, garlic powder and rosemary. Toss with hands to distribute oil and seasoning well and bake for 20 minutes. Then let cool.


In a large mixing bowl add the kale, remaining olive oil, lemon, tahini, salt, pepper and roasted garlic. Massage the kale gently for 5 minutes mixing all of the flavors into the kale. This is dressing the salad.
