(www.BloomingPlatter.blogspot.com)
Ingredients:
2 cups of fresh green beans
2 fresh peaches, diced
1 1/2 tsp. sesame oil
3 Tbs. soy sauce
coarse sea or kosher salt (to taste)
freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
1-2 tsp. canola oil
1 package tempeh (try Tofurky Smoky "Bacon")
1/2 cup lightly salted & roasted cashew halves and pieces
Directions:
- Trim green beans and cut in half; steam for 5-7 minutes or
until tender but still bright green.
- Combine green beans and peaches in a medium non-reactive bowl.
- In a separate bowl, make the dressing by whisking together
remaining ingredients.
- Pour dressing on the green bean mixture and toss gently; let
mixture marinate while browning tempeh.
- Pour canola oil into a large cast iron skillet and use a paper
towel to distribute it evenly.
- Heat the skillet over medium-high, cook tempeh strips a couple
of minutes on each side or until they are lightly browned and heated
through.
- Remove tempeh to a cutting board and cut into bite size pieces;
let cool enough that they won't fall apart and then gently
incorporate the tempeh and cashews into the green bean and peach
salad. Serve immediately.
