One dish that is firmly in my repertoire, that I can make easily and with pretty much guaranteed success is tempeh with peanut sauce and brown rice. I like this because how can you not like peanut sauce (and this is a great one) and with the brown rice it is virtually a very healthy meal. Accompanied by a vegetable side dish it really is a simple all you need delicious meal.
These recipes are adapted from Peter Berley's Modern Vegetarian Kitchen, which I can't recommend enough. Peter has cooked at some of the top restaurants in New York like Angelica Kitchen and trained at the Gourmet Natural Institute, he is a proper chef and we really like his attitude toward vegetarian food. He used to be vegan but now includes some dairy so gives both options in his recipes. I don't really think that the tempeh tastes 'sweet and sour' but it is amazing and a perfect compliment to the peanut sauce.
We served this with cabbage and floating cloud miso dressing, but have also had equally good results with roasted maple pumpkin. This is a delicious, healthy, vegan meal with whole grain and protein.
