Servings: 4 | 45 minutes | 350 kcal

This recipe was inspired by the rich flavours of Middle Eastern cuisine, where pomegranates, tempeh, and pistachios are all key ingredients in many traditional dishes.

I first created this recipe on a late summer day. The pomegranates were in full bloom and I was craving something refreshing, yet fulfilling. When I had my first bite, I knew it was a winner!

Ingredients

2 pieces tempeh
2 cups pomegranate juice
3 teaspoons brown sugar
2 pieces garlic
1 cups soy sauce
1 cups pistachios

Instructions

Cut the tempeh into cubes and thread onto skewers.
In a small pot, combine the pomegranate juice, brown sugar, and garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Add the soy sauce and continue to simmer for about 10 minutes until the mixture is reduced and has a syrupy consistency.
Brush the glaze onto the tempeh skewers and grill for about 10 minutes, turning and brushing with more glaze regularly.
Sprinkle the grilled skewers with crushed pistachios and serve.
