Runner's High Mango Curry

Here's a quickie tempeh curry, big on flavor, light on the oil and salt. Serve with brown rice for a burst of protein, fiber and clean energy.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon canola or coconut oil
  • 2 onion sliced thin
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 thumb-sized piece fresh ginger
  • peeled and chopped fine ½ jalapeno
  • minced optional 1 teaspoon allspice
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 nice-sized ripe mango
  • peeled and diced 8 ounces tempeh cut into bite-sized cubes -- about an inch square
  • 2 bunches bok choy or ½ Napa cabbage chopped into bite-sized skinny ribbons
  • juice of 1 lime
  • pinch of sea salt plus more to taste fresh ground pepper to taste
  • 1 bunch cilantro coarsely chopped
  • cup roasted cashews coarsely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Heat oil in a large saute pan (with high, straight sides, as opposed to a skillet, which is shallow, with sloping sides) over medium-high heat.
  • Add chopped onion, garlic, ginger, the jalapeno if you like it hot and turmeric and allspice. Stir and cook for about 8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, if vegetables are sticking. Cook until they're golden from the turmeric, fragrant and slightly tender.
  • Add your lovely chopped greens and stir until they soften -- about 8 minutes for a structurey green like bok choy, just a minute or so for Napa cabbage. Add diced mango and tempeh, lime juice and sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste.
  • Stir in cilantro and scatter chopped cashews on top.
  • Easy, fabulous.
