Every time I eat tempeh, I appreciate it more. To me, it’s kind of like a more sophisticated cousin to tofu, with more of its own flavor, and a great nutritional profile. Originating in Indonesia, tempeh is a fermented soybean product. Unlike tofu, it’s made from whole soybeans, making it nutritionally superior, and creating a totally different texture. The fermentation process gives it a strong flavor and also adds nutritional benefits. With the simple addition of a little tamari, herb salt or any of your favorite seasonings, tempeh can easily be grilled in strips, cubes or cutlets for a quick and easy protein fix. Tempeh Teriyakiyields 1 large skillet 1. (If you are using a regular skillet to fry the tempeh, transfer to a casserole dish before baking.)

Serve over brown rice, or any whole grain of your choice. Chickpea Burger Recipe: A Meatless Treat. Every city has it’s own array of food vendors on the street. When people think of New York City street food, hot dogs usually come to mind–but I think falafels may eventually take over. The falafel street vendors are amazing–but the sandwiches they produce are so rich.

I can’t begin to imagine the calories and fat grams packed into those pita pockets. Yet, whenever I pass a falafel cart on the street, I find myself in a constant state of falafel-craving all day. So here’s an idea: Rather than a heavy, fried falafel on the sidewalk–a lighter homemade version from Eating Well magazine that comes with a flavorful, but also light, tahini sauce. Burgers 1 19-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed (or homemade, see how here) 4 scallions, trimmed and sliced 1 egg 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 6-1/2-inch whole-wheat pitas, halved and warmed, if desired 1. 2. 3. 4.

Chana masala with spinach is a vegetarian variation of a traditional and popular Indian food dish. If you don't have all the spices on hand, its ok to omit one of them without too much trouble, but don't omit more than two or you will have a completely different (and bland!) Dish on your hands. For a heartier chana masala, toss in some tofu with the chickpeas and serve over rice.
