Quick Spinach Tempeh

I lift weights regularly, and this is one of my go-to post-workout meals - it's quick, really tasty, and you can throw everything in the pan and walk away until it's done.

½ block tempeh
½ cup frozen spinach
1 tbsp tahini
½ tbsp tamari (or to taste)
1 tsp hoisin sauce
¼ tsp garlic powder*
¾ cup vegetable broth
½ cup cooked quinoa
salt to taste

Heat a small non-stick pan over medium heat and crumble the tempeh into the pan. Add all of the remaining ingredients but the quinoa and cook, loosely covered, for 10-12 minutes or until most of the liquid is gone. Add the quinoa, cover the pan again, and cook for another 5 minutes. Add salt to taste.

*If you've got a little more time on your hands, sub the dried garlic for 1 tsp of fresh minced garlic and cook it along with the tempeh in a bit of olive oil, stirring occasionally. Add the remaining ingredients and cook according to the rest of the directions.

Serves 1.
