Method

Combine orange zest, juice, tamari, garlic, ginger and honey in a small bowl. Set aside.


Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add tempeh and brown on all sides.


Add orange juice mixture to pot and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes.


Add carrots, potato, sweet potato, turnip and tomatoes, then add enough broth to almost cover vegetables.


Add star anise and cinnamon and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.


Uncover and increase heat to high. Add cornstarch-water mixture and cook until stew has thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.


Season with salt, pepper and additional honey, if desired. Garnish with parsley or cilantro just before serving.
