What you’ll need:
4 tomatillos–husks removed and cleaned
1 jalapeno seeded and de-veined

1/2 tsp salt
1 garlic clove
1 C medium or long grain rice

Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes
If too thick add remaining 1/2 C water
Enjoy!
What you’ll need:
2 servings of cooked brown or wild rice (if I’m in a hurry I use the uncle bens 90 seconds microwave rice)
1 package of marinated tempeh cut into bite size pieces (if you can’t find the marinated kind you could put regular tempeh in a zip lock bag and add: maple syrup, balsamic or apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper and marinate for at least 30 min)
2 Tbsp olive oil
What you’ll do:
Add oil to a medium skillet and heat to medium
Add tempeh and cook until browned on both sides
Add rice and let brown about 5 minutes more
Plate and serve (I garnished mine with whole black peppercorn and parsley)
Enjoy!!!
