I chose this recipe for pan-fried mung beans with tempeh to round out our super natural every day week as a bit of an experiment. On paper, this is a health food recipe through and through. I mean mung beans, tempeh, and broccoli are the stuff 1970s-era hippie health jokes were made of. I was dying to see if this could actually be tasty in the deft hand of heidi swanson. And sure enough, it is.
