Want a nice and easy dish that you can make in under 30 minutes?

Sweet n sticky tempeh, with Mexican spice rice, softened pepper strips and zesty sweetcorn tomato and spring onion salsa. 💃

Oh and yes, it’s another accidental vegan dinner 💚

I love cooking with tempeh as it has a wonderful nutty like texture which absorbs the spice and flavours you put with it so wonderfully. Spice this up with some fresh tangy salsa, it’s an explosion of flavours in your mouth.

I served this on a bed of nutty brown rice, however you could always serve the components in a tortilla wrap or on tacos if you fancy making it more Mexican.
