Ingredients

  • 130g tempeh
  • 120g pearl barley
  • 80g green beans
  • 80g cherry tomatoes
  • 50g tzatziki
  • 10g lemon juice
  • 30g red onion
  • 1 tsp dried oregano & smoked paprika
  • 40g cucumber

Method

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    Simmer the pearl barley for 25-30 minutes until plump and chewy, then drain.

  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

    Rub the protein with oregano, paprika and lemon. Spoon over cool tzatziki and scatter with the sliced red onion when serving.

  5. 5

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

  6. 6

    Build the plate: pearl barley first, then the veg and tempeh, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the cucumber.
