Savor this hearty yet light dish blending nutty brown lentils and savory firm tofu with the rich, aromatic flavors of herb-roasted garlic and slowly caramelized vegetables. A balanced creation that brings warmth and vibrant taste whether you're enjoying it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup Brown Lentils, cooked
150 grams Firm Tofu
3 cloves Roasted Garlic
1 medium Onion
1 medium Carrot
1 medium Bell Pepper
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Mixed Fresh Herbs (Thyme & Rosemary)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Wrap garlic cloves in aluminum foil drizzled with a tiny bit of olive oil and roast for about 25-30 minutes until soft and fragrant.
While the garlic roasts, heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Slice the onion, carrot, and bell pepper into uniform pieces.
Add the vegetables to the skillet and cook slowly on medium-low heat, allowing them to caramelize for about 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Crumble the tofu into bite-sized cubes and add it to the caramelizing vegetables. Sauté for an additional 5 minutes until the tofu is lightly browned.
Once the garlic is done, squeeze the softened garlic into the vegetable mixture and stir in the mixed fresh herbs.
Fold in the cooked brown lentils and gently mix until everything is well incorporated and heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve warm, enjoying the blend of savory lentils, protein-rich tofu, and sweet, caramelized vegetables infused with herbaceous garlic.
