INSTRUCTIONS

1
Cook the rice

Add basmati rice, 1¼ cups water, and a pinch of salt to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until the water is absorbed and rice is tender, 13 to 15 minutes.

2
Cook the corn

Shuck the corn and slice kernels off the cob. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add corn kernels and a pinch of salt to the skillet and cook until lightly browned in places, 3 to 5 minutes.Transfer to a bowl. TIPS: Cover the skillet if the corn starts to pop. You will use this skillet in the next step.

3
Cook the tempeh

Wipe the nonstick skillet clean. Cut tempeh into 1 inch cubes. Return skillet to medium-high heat with 1 tbsp vegetable oil. Add cubed tempeh and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tempeh is lightly browned on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes. Add BBQ sauce, toss to coat, and cook until sauce begins to bubble. Add ¼ cup water and cook until sauce is reduced and slightly sticky, 1 to 2 minutes.

4
Make the lime coleslaw

Zest and juice the lime. Add lime zest, lime juice, sour cream, and a pinch of salt and pepper to a medium bowl and whisk. Add coleslaw blend and mix the lime coleslaw.

5
Serve

Add corn to the cooked rice and stir to combine. Divide the sweet corn pilaf between bowls and top with BBQ tempeh, lime coleslaw, and pickled jalapeños. Tuck in!
