Ingredients

Units: US Metric
  • 9⅞ oz tempeh
  • 7 oz green cabbage
  • 2 clove garlic
  • 3½ oz yellow onion
  • 1⅛ tbsp olive oil
  • 1½ cups vegetable broth
  • 0.6 g black pepper
  • 3 g ground cumin
  • 1.6 g kosher salt
  • 1 piece bay leaf

Steps

  1. Pat 9⅞ oz tempeh dry and salt it. Heat 1⅛ tbsp olive oil in a heavy pot over medium-high heat. Brown the tempeh on all sides. Move it to a plate.
  2. Lower the heat. Cook 3½ oz yellow onion and 7 oz green cabbage with a pinch of salt until the onion softens, about 6 minutes. Add 2 garlic cloves and 3 g ground cumin and stir for 30 seconds.
  3. Return the tempeh and any juices. Add the vegetable broth and 1 bay leaf. The liquid should come about halfway up the main ingredient. Add a splash of water if it does not.
  4. Cover and simmer gently until the tempeh is browned at the edges, about 25 minutes. If the sauce is thin, uncover it for the last 10 minutes. Taste for salt. Discard bay leaves before serving.
