Barbecue Tempeh Bowl

Normally when making a bowl like this, I like to make everything from scratch. Today was an exception. I wanted to eat more than I wanted to cook so I took some help from the grocery store and purchased BBQ sauce and baked beans. From there I simply cooked the tempeh in the sauce and made a quick slaw while the collards were steaming.

Crisp cubes of tempeh simmered in tangy barbecue sauce with baked beans, collard greens and a refreshing slaw filled with snap peas, beets and carrots.

Saute the tempeh in olive oil until brown and crispy, 5-7 minutes. Add the barbecue sauce and water and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the sauce is thick.
Serve the tempeh in a bowl with steamed collards, baked beans and slaw.

Combine all of the slaw ingredients together and chill for at least 15 minutes before serving. When ready to eat, taste and season with salt if necessary.
