INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup cooked lentils (150g)
150g extra-firm tofu
1 cup broccoli (155g)
1/2 tablespoon walnuts (7.5g)
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon tahini
Salt and pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the broccoli florets with a drizzle of olive oil (optional if extra calories allowed), salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for about 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy at the edges.
While the broccoli roasts, press the tofu gently to remove excess moisture. Cut it into bite-sized cubes. Optionally, lightly season with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until they are golden brown on all sides.
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, tahini, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Adjust the dressing consistency with a little water if desired.
Assemble your bowl by layering the cooked lentils as the base. Top with the seared tofu and roasted broccoli. Sprinkle walnuts and nutritional yeast evenly over the bowl.
Drizzle the lemon-tahini dressing across the bowl. Give it a gentle toss to combine flavors before serving.
