Zest lemon and then cut half of the lemon into small chunks. Add zest and lemon to the onion mixture. (yes add the peel and all, that’s why it’s good to use organic)

Add coconut milk to tomato mixture and gently simmer for 5 minutes.
Step 6
When tempeh is browned, remove from heat and wrap into foil to keep warm.
