The people who have read my book Feed

Short, and The

China Study

by T. Colin , know that we advise to eat much less or no animal

protein in order to live longer and better. Here is a smooth,

deliciously light tempeh recipe using provencal herbs.

• 1 sheet of dried

kelp, soaked for ten minutes and cut into strips.

• 1 package of Tempeh (fermented soybean cake)

• 2-3 Yukon gold or other white potatoes

• organic carrots, red pepper and onion to taste

• shiitake mushrooms with stems removed

• Your favorite fresh herbs–dill, oregano, thyme, coriander,

tarragon or other cut into small pieces with a scissor.

• 1/4 cup of hemp seeds (high in omega 3 & 6 oils)

I like the Tempeh with soybeans, rice, and vegetable. Cut it into

small cubes. Cut all the vegetables you want to use (carrots, red

pepper, onion, and mushrooms) into similar cubes.

In a glass baking dish, first place the strips of seaweed on the

bottom to resemble a seaweed pie crust. Then place layer on layer of

tempeh, potato, carrots, shiitake, hemp seeds, and fresh herbs. Add 2

Tbsp. lemon juice for moisture. Salt and pepper or other spices such as

cumin and coriander as you like.

Cover the baking pan with a top or foil and bake at low heat 200

degrees for an hour or until the ingredients are soft enough to eat.

What Provencal Herbs Do–i.e., The Chinese energetics of common herbs.

• Garlic - stimulating, antibiotic, can overstimulate the liver,

use less if you have a temper.

• Cumin, coriander, and fennel - cooling and digestive. Cumin is

useful for ulcers, coriander as a diuretic, and fennel as a soothing

digestive, turmeric is anticancer, caraway is digestive for bloating

Fresh Herbs:

• Marjoram -antibiotic, antiviral

• Parsley - diuretic

• Dill–cooling, diuretic

• Thyme - warming and clearing for lungs - running congestion and

chest tightness

• Tarragon - improves liver function, cooling, relaxing, enhances

the flow of bile - use a lot during spring
