Tomato, Pomegranate, 

Roasted Lemon, Herb Salad

This recipe is inspired by Yotam Ottolenghi's vegetarian cooking book. It is a very flavorful dish and got me introduced to adding roasted lemon to dishes which I now love.

  • 1 can of coconut milk (normal fat content)

  • 2 cups vegetables of your liking (rainbow colors)

directions​

  1. Start by making the rice. Adding all ingredients and bringing to a boil. After that let simmer until rice has your desired consistency.

  2. For the curry: Prepare the vegetables, cutting and slicing. Preparing the garlic and ginger. Then heat coconut oil in a pan. Add ginger, garlic and curry paste. Carefully cook for about 5 min, then add the coconut milk. Cook for 1-5 min and add the vegetables. At the end add all remaining ingredients and switch off heat.

  3. For the marinated tempeh: Slice tempeh the way you like it. Put coconut oil in a frying pan. Add tempeh and fry from both sides on pretty high heat. Once brown, turn the heat down, add tamari/shoyu and maple syrup. Be careful to not get hurt by the hot splashes. Mix and turn until tempeh is covered and crispy on both sides.

  4. Serve by placing rice, curry and tempeh in a bowl. Sprinkle some cilantro, maybe some cashew nuts on top and enjoy!
