Heck yes vegan comfort food! A simple tomato-based sauce, protein-rich tempeh, and fiber-packed farro are used to make this quick and delicious dinner!

Ingredients

  • 8 oz. tempeh, crumbled by hand into medium chunks
  • 1 cup cooked farro (or brown rice)
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 medium sweet onion, minced
  • salt + pepper
  • 15 oz. tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1 tsp. dijon mustard
  • 1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp. tamari (or soy sauce)
  • 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
  • optional: 1 tsp. brown sugar
  • for serving: buns, pickles, etc.

Instructions

  1. Add tempeh and farro to your food processor and process until broken down and crumbly. You want it to look like beef crumbles!
  2. Heat a medium pot over medium heat. Add olive oil, onion, and your tempeh-farro mixture, and sauté until the onions are translucent. Season with a bit of salt and pepper.
  3. Meanwhile, mix tomato sauce, ketchup, dijon, apple cider vinegar, tamari, and smoked paprika in a large bowl. Taste, and adjust seasoning as necessary. If you want it sweeter, add brown sugar.
  4. When your onion is translucent, add your sauce and mix to combine. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, add some water. Cook until everything is nice and hot and serve with buns, pickles, and whatever toppings you desire!
