Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil
  • 1 8 oz package tempeh, thinly sliced into strips
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 4 cloves of garlic minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 4 drops of liquid stevia
  • 2 cups blanched kale
  • dash of sea salt and fresh ground pepper

Instructions

  • Blanch your kale if you haven’t already: Place de-stemmed and chopped kale in boiling water for 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and place the kale in a bowl of ice water. Drain well. Sometimes I actually squeeze the kale to wring out all the extra liquid.
  • Melt coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add tempeh strips and cook for 2-3 minutes, flip and cook for another 2 minutes or until both sides of the tempeh slices are brown.
  • While tempeh is browning, whisk together the lemon juice, garlic, ginger, cumin, Italian seasoning and stevia in a small bowl.
  • Once tempeh has browned, add blanched kale and the lemony garlic mixture. Stir to coat. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat. Add salt and ground pepper to taste and serve.
