Very good, I especially appreciate the steaming suggestion. <br/><br/>Anyhow, I made half a recipe, rounding up the garlic clove number, and I used the tempeh package with flax seed, and I more crumbled than cubed the tempeh. I had no Swiss chard so I used kolhrabi greens (which since they are tougher I added in a little earlier). Otherwise I followed the recipe (omitting salt). The dish has a nice nutty flavor and crunch, The thyme is a great touch! (Next time I'll have fresh to hand.) <br/><br/>Made for the July 2010 veggie swap!

I'm a grad student and also teach at two different schools, so I need some fast/easy recipes. I try to eat vegan, and most of my creations are also gluten-free because my husband is Diabetic/Celiac. I don't post any recipes I have not personally tried and liked.
