Notes
CHEF’S NOTES
The cook time will depend on the size of your vegetables, and how tight the seal is on your steamer. In an electric pressure cooker, using the steamer setting, I prefer to set the timer to 5 minutes and release the pressure manually.
For more bulk and calories, add fresh fruit or cooked grains, after steaming the greens and tempeh. A little bit of starch, like grains or potato, will keep you full until lunch.
This recipe makes 2 servings relative to what most people think of as a serving of greens. However, I enjoy this full recipe as a single serving most mornings.
