Cooking Steps
- Prepare the stock in a salad bowl.
- Add the couscous, then cover and allow to stand for 8 minutes.
- Shortly before serving, fluff through the couscous with a fork.
- Add the za'atar and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil as preferred.
Did you know... wholegrain couscous contains 5 times more vitamin B2 and 3 times more vitamin E than regular couscous.
- Heat a drizzle of sunflower oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
- When the oil is nice and hot, fry the tempeh for 4 - 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, quarter the lemon. Crush or mince the garlic.
- In a small bowl, combine the garlic, honey and mustard with the juice of a quarter lemon per person. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- When the tempeh is done, add the sauce and fry for 1 more minute.
- Cut the head of the broccoli into florets and dice the stem.
- Transfer to a microwave-safe bowl and add the water (see pantry for amount). Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and pierce the surface several times.
- Microwave on high for 2 - 3 minutes or until done. Carefully remove the plastic wrap and season to taste with pepper.
- Meanwhile, roughly chop the almonds.
- Serve the mesclun on plates.
- Top with the couscous, tempeh, broccoli and almonds. Drizzle with the mayonnaise (see Tip).
- Garnish the broccoli with the gomashio-herb mix. Serve with the rest of the lemon wedges.
Health Tip: this meal is high in calories. If you're watching your calorie intake, serve just half of the mayonnaise.
