No grill?  Living in an apartment?  No problem!  This yummy high-protein recipe has zero cholesterol and just 2 simple ingredients.  A great post-workout meal.  It’s free from common allergens like soy protein isolate, gluten, dairy, shellfish, tree nuts, and peanuts.

1) Tempeh, either plain or 5 grain (SoyBoy brand works great, and they’re the only brand that makes a 5 grain tempeh that’s truly gluten-free.  Most brands of plain tempeh are gluten-free, but be sure to check the label if you have food allergies.)  

For 1-2 people, use 1 package of tempeh.  For 3-4 people, use 2 packages.  

2)Organic BBQ sauce (I love OrganicVille brand, but any BBQ sauce made without high fructose corn syrup could be good)

Chop tempeh into 1″ x 1″ squares, and coat with BBQ sauce.  Place in a covered casserole dish.  If you don’t have one, put it in a glass baking dish (such as an 8 x 8″ cake pan or a 9″ pie pan), and cover with aluminum foil.  

Bake at 350 degrees (F) for approximately 30-45 min, until BBQ sauce gets thick.

Serve plain, over boiled quinoa or brown rice, or with your favorite stir-fried or grilled veggies.
