Made from cooked, fermented soy beans and originating from Indonesia, tempeh packs a nutritional punch. What distinguishes tempeh from tofu, you may ask? Where tofu is made from the curds of the bean, tempeh is formed from the whole bean – it is also firmer, so it’s perfect for cutting into “ribs,” as in this Smoky Slow Cooker Tempeh by Natalie Tamara. Tempeh is slow cooked with aromatics and savory spices until perfectly tender, then served with sweet potato. It’s perfect as is or with a little barbecue sauce on the side.
