Paired with lightly sautéed tofu, this dish is a satisfying blend of textures and flavors that serves as a wholesome, balanced meal.
INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup raw cashews (40g)
1 cup cauliflower florets (107g)
1 medium zucchini, spiralized (196g)
150g firm tofu
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (120g)
2 tbsp nutritional yeast (16g)
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Soak the raw cashews in water for at least 2 hours or boil them for 10 minutes to soften.
Steam the cauliflower florets until tender (about 8-10 minutes). Set aside.
While the cauliflower steams, press the tofu to remove excess moisture and cut it into small cubes.
Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté the tofu cubes until lightly golden on all sides. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Drain the cashews and add them to a blender along with steamed cauliflower, almond milk, garlic, and nutritional yeast. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding extra water if necessary to achieve desired consistency.
Season the cream sauce with salt and pepper. Optionally, gently warm the sauce in a saucepan if you prefer it warm.
Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles from the medium zucchini. If you don’t have a spiralizer, use a vegetable peeler to create ribbons.
Plate the zucchini noodles and pour the creamy cashew-cauliflower sauce over them. Top with the sautéed tofu cubes.
Finish with an extra grind of pepper and a light drizzle of olive oil if desired, then serve immediately.
