Directions
- Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan with a heavy bottom. Sauté the onions and celery until beginning to soften and stir in the tempeh. Sauté while stirring for another 5-8 minutes until beginning to brown. Stir in the barbeque sauce and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a small bowl stir the broccoli slaw, green onion and mayonnaise together. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
