I Love peanut butter and have tried many recipes with it. Actually, I have a weakness with entrees made out of peanut butter. I cannot stop myself from finishing the entire dish.

Tempeh has recently gained a lot of popularity and is suitable for almost all types of diet. I used original tempeh for this recipe and boiled it to overcome the super powering peculiar taste of it. It is true that it takes a while to adapt to its taste but it’s definitely one the best source of protein for a vegan diet.

Easy steps to make One Pot Peanut Butter Tempeh Curry

I made a simple entrée by just heating oil in a nonstick pan.

Thereafter, I flavored the warm oil with some herbs.

Afterwards, I added onions and bell peppers in the herbed oil.

Later, I added dollop of peanut butter along with some sauces.

Lastly, I added tempeh and made the curry with some water.

One Pot Peanut Butter Tempeh Curry tastes amazingly delicious when paired with quinoa. It makes a perfect dinner bowl on any work week or just a casual weekend dinner.

I am always excited to share my new recipes with you via this blog. However, this time the exciting fact is that  I genuinely created a nutritious and protein rich entrée that everyone can enjoy on any day of the week.

Now, whenever I am in a rush or falling short of grocery, I quickly make this dinner and enjoy a warm meal in the evening.

The only important thing I would recommend you to follow in this recipe is to use fresh ground peanut butter to stay within the calorie limit.

Also, if you use fresh ground peanut butter (without any sweetener) you will avoid too much sugar intake. This in turn will make your meal healthier.

    Who doesn’t love one-pot meals?! This is a versatile recipe, you can add whatever additional spices or veggies you want to change up the menu – eat this dish several nights a week and have it a bit new every time.

    I thought this looked rather bland. I used a can of coconut milk instead of the 1 1/2 cups of water and added some turmeric, cumin and coriander. It smells good and I expect we’ll enjoy it!
    Thanks!
