Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, diced (red, green, or yellow – your choice!)
- 1 carrot, diced
- 1 zucchini, diced
- 8 ounces tempeh, crumbled
- 1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions to Make It Happen:
- Start by heating that olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Throw in the chopped onion and let it sizzle until it’s soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Next, add in the minced garlic, bell pepper, and carrot. Sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep things from sticking.
- Now it’s time for the zucchini and crumbled tempeh to join the party! Stir them in and let everything cook together for about 5 more minutes.
- Pour in those diced tomatoes, black beans, and vegetable broth. Spice things up with chili powder, cumin, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper, then bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes so all the flavors can blend and get happy together.
- Finally, taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro if you like!
