Part 4/6:
Using a can of diced tomatoes and some vegetable broth, she mixes in cubed tempeh, which significantly contributes to the protein count. Emmy notes that nutritional yeast is added towards the end for both flavor and thickening, creating a rich, comforting stew that’s even better the next day. For those wanting to add a significant protein boost, she suggests having quinoa as a side, which can elevate the total protein for a serving to 8g.
Dinner: Vegan Coq au Vin
Emmy concludes her day with a plant-based twist on the classic French dish, Coq au Vin. Instead of chicken, she utilizes seitan, sautéing it alongside pearl onions and carrots, enriching the dish with Marsala cooking wine and herbs.
