Green!!! Gazpacho with Orange-Soy glazed Tempeh

Gazpacho:

Ingredients:
1.5 cucumbers, most of peel removed, chopped
1 cup basil
1/2 cup cilantro
2 cups loose leaf spinach, chopped
1 stalk green onion
1/2 large jalapeno
1.5 cups oj
0.5 cup water
3/4 of lime juiced
1 can chickpeas or cannelloni beans
1 tbs olive oil
1 clove garlic
salt/pepper/red pepper to taste

Directions:
Place all ingredients in a large bowl, insert immersion blender, go to town..... Chill and serve.

Hint* Gazpacho is always good garnished with toasted almond slivers or any other nut :). 

Tempeh:


Ingredients:
Tempeh strips, 4 per person
*We are lucky enough here in the 'ville to have not 1 but 2 local tempeh makers.  If unable to buy locally, look to use a tempeh which is primarily soy bean and does not incorporate rice or other fillers.  Non-GMO tempeh is also a plus!
1/4 cup Orange Juice for every 4 strips of tempeh
2 tbs Soy sauce per serving
fresh ginger and garlic if you aren't sick of chopping/lazy

Directions:
Toss tempeh in other ingredients to coat, place on baking sheet with non-stick component, bake at 375 until golden brown and juice has slightly caramelized.


Serve Gazpacho with Tempeh.  If looking to make a complete meal (aka adding a carb), the soup can be served with toast rubbed with fresh garlic!!!
