Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Tofu Steaks
Savor a perfectly pan-seared, herb-crusted tofu steak accompanied by a light chickpea topping that enhances texture and protein punch. The combination of aromatic herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, and a bright squeeze of lemon makes every bite a harmonious blend of savory and refreshing notes.
INGREDIENTS
300 grams Extra Firm Tofu
1/4 cup Chickpeas (cooked)
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Dried Basil
1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper, to taste
1 Lemon Wedge
PREPARATION
Press the tofu for at least 20 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut into 1/2-inch thick steaks.
In a shallow dish, combine dried basil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Lightly brush both sides of the tofu steaks with olive oil, then press each side into the herb mixture to form an even crust.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the tofu steaks and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and slightly crispy.
In a small pot, warm the chickpeas if desired or use them at room temperature. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Plate the herb-crusted tofu steaks with a side of chickpeas and garnish with a lemon wedge. Squeeze lemon juice over the tofu before serving to brighten the flavors.
