5 21 Published Oct 05, 2012, Updated Jun 17, 2024 The meal I’m sharing today is one of those easy peasy weeknight meals that comes together quickly. It doesn’t require a ton of ingredients, everything is simply tossed into one skillet and it comes out tasting great. It’s got protein, dark leafy greens (my fav!) and whole grains = aka the winning combo. You’ll love the warm, hearty flavors, especially during the cooler fall and winter months. It’s healthy comfort food! Meals like this make me smile. And don’t be scared away by the tempeh. It doesn’t need to be marinated or steamed beforehand, yet it still tastes quite lovely. <– This is coming from a lady who used to shun away from cooking tempeh at home because it never turned out right and always had a bitter aftertaste. One of the star ingredients in this dish (besides the tempeh and kale) is Coconut Secret Coconut Aminos. It’s a new condiment I found at Whole Foods that I’ve started using in place of soy sauce and Bragg’s Liquid Aminos. It’s made out of coconut sap and sea salt and has less sodium than soy sauce, tamari and Bragg’s. 1 teaspoon of Coconut Aminos has 113 mg of sodium, whereas regular soy sauce and Bragg’s Aminos have about 320 mg in 1 teaspoon. It’s also soy free, raw, gluten free (soy sauce isn’t), vegan, organic and contains 17 amino acids, the building blocks of protein. I wouldn’t mind because I like the flavor of coconut, but it doesn’t taste like coconut to me – I can’t tell the difference between it and Bragg’s or tamari in recipes.
