Ingredients

Italian Tempeh Sausage

  • 1 8 Ounce Block Tempeh
  • 2 Teaspoons Dried Parsley
  • 1 Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • ½ Teaspoon Fennel

  • ½ Cup Dry White Wine
  • 1 14.5 Ounce Can Diced Tomatoes drained with juice reserved
  • 1 ½ Cups Vegetable Broth
  • 1 15 Ounce Can Great Northern Beans

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, mix the Italian tempeh spices. Add the vegetable stock and stir to create a paste.
  • Crumble the tempeh and add to the bowl. Stir to coat. Set aside.
  • Sauté the onion over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, using some of the vegetable broth to prevent sticking.

  • Stir in the wine and the reserved tomato juice. Cook 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the remaining vegetable stock, beans, and tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  • Portion the greens and bean mixture into bowls and top with tempeh. Enjoy!
