tempeh with zucchini, peas, and tomatoes

Ok, after a backlash from my friends who apparently love tempeh, I tried again. Yummmmmmm! I retract all former statements about tempeh.
The only reason I made this was because I needed to use up some zucchini and wanted to try tempeh again. OK, so you look at the ingredients and think - 'I know what that's gonna taste like'. Nooo! You have no idea! You must run home and make this now. It tastes... rich, buttery, sweet and salty, meaty... so hearty. I don't know why this is, but I used 5-grain tempeh instead of soy, and reduced the oil to 4 tsp from 2 T. Other than that, you know me, I followed it exactly.
You can find the recipe here. Note however that the instructions are off- I think you are supposed to add half the salt, half the broth, and the spices to the tempeh while it's cooking. The instructions got chopped off for some reason. I know all you smarties can figure it out.

I am now on weight watchers, and this is only 4 points per serving when made with 4 tsp of olive oil instead of 2 T.
