Ingredients

  • 130g tempeh
  • 150g couscous
  • 80g courgette
  • 80g green beans
  • 15g balsamic vinegar
  • 5g honey
  • 3g garlic
  • 5g olive oil
  • 20g rocket

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the courgette and green beans, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Pour just-boiled stock over the couscous, cover for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

  3. 3

    Slice the tempeh and pan-fry for 3-4 minutes per side until golden, then glaze with some of the sauce.

  4. 4

    Simmer the balsamic vinegar with honey and garlic for 2-3 minutes until syrupy. Drizzle over the protein and veg.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the courgette and green beans for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the bowl: couscous first, then the veg and tempeh, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the rocket.
