NORTH AFRICAN COUSCOUS WITH TEMPEH



North African Couscous with Tempeh image

This is my favorite way to use tempeh. The honey in the marinade allows the tempeh to caramelize beautifully. You can also add diced red pepper for a little extra color. Serve with pita bread and lentil soup to round out the meal. Serve with additional mint as a garnish.
