INGREDIENTS
1 cup cauliflower florets
1/4 cup raw cashews
2 medium zucchini (spiralized)
1/2 cup chickpeas, drained
6 ounces extra-firm tofu
2 garlic cloves
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 cup water
PREPARATION
Begin by steaming the cauliflower florets until tender, about 6-8 minutes, then set aside.
Drain and press the extra-firm tofu, then cut it into bite-sized cubes.
In a blender, combine the raw cashews, garlic cloves, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and 1/2 cup water. Blend until smooth to create a creamy sauce.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Sauté the tofu cubes until lightly golden on all sides, then add the chickpeas and cook for another 2 minutes.
Stir in the steamed cauliflower and pour in the cashew sauce. Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-4 minutes so the flavors meld together.
Toss in the zucchini noodles, gently warming them in the sauce until just tender, about 2 minutes, ensuring they remain firm and fresh.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed (salt and pepper can be added per preference), and serve warm.
