Ingredients:

1 cup grits (stone-ground preferred)
4 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk (such as almond or oat)
1 tablespoon vegan butter
8 ounces tempeh, cubed
1/2 cup BBQ sauce (vegan-friendly)
1 bunch collard greens, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
Fresh black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the salt and slowly whisk in the grits. Reduce the heat to low and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick and creamy.
Once the grits are cooked, stir in the plant-based milk and vegan butter, mixing well. Keep warm on low heat.
While the grits are cooking, prepare the BBQ tempeh. In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the cubed tempeh and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
Pour in the BBQ sauce, stirring to coat the tempeh. Allow to cook for an additional 5 minutes, ensuring the tempeh is heated through and well-coated.
In another pot, sauté the minced garlic in a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped collard greens, cooking until wilted and tender, about 5-8 minutes. Season with black pepper to taste.
To serve, spoon the creamy grits onto plates, top with the BBQ tempeh and collard greens. Enjoy your flavorful, vegan soul food meal!
