Balsamic Glazed Tempeh Over Fresh Arugula

Embark on a culinary journey with this delicious and vibrantly flavorful vegan dish. The star is tempeh, a traditional Indonesian soy product, that's marinated in a rich balsamic glaze and served over a bed of fresh, peppery arugula. The combination of the tangy tempeh and the freshness of the arugula makes for a truly satisfying meal. This dish is not only a celebration of flavors but also a testament to the versatility and richness of plant-based cuisine.

Serves 2 🍷 Wine Pairings 🥗 Side Dishes

Ingredients

Red onion
1, thinly sliced
Cherry tomatoes
1 cup, halved
Arugula
4 cups
Salt and pepper
to taste
Garlic
2 cloves, minced
Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup
Tempeh
8 oz, cut into cubes

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Add the tempeh cubes into the marinade and ensure they are well-coated. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  3. Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated tempeh and cook until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Reserve the remaining marinade for dressing.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the arugula, halved cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion.
  5. Top the salad with the cooked tempeh and drizzle with the remaining marinade.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy the perfect blend of flavors in each bite.

Tips

  • 💡 Marinating the tempeh for longer, even overnight, would intensify the flavors.
  • 💡 You can also add other vegetables like cucumber or bell peppers to the salad for added crunch.
  • 💡 If you prefer, you can grill the tempeh instead of pan-frying it for a smoky flavor.
