INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1/3 cup cooked Chickpeas
1/2 cup shelled Edamame
5 oz Extra Firm Tofu
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 tsp Tahini
1 tsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1 Garlic Clove
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions if not pre-cooked; set aside to cool slightly.
Drain and lightly rinse the chickpeas. In a small bowl, gently mash a few chickpeas with the back of a fork for added texture.
Cube the extra firm tofu and lightly sauté in a non-stick pan over medium heat until golden on all sides. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
If using frozen edamame, steam or microwave them until tender.
For the creamy tahini dressing, combine tahini, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Thin out with a teaspoon of water if needed to reach a drizzling consistency.
Assemble the bowl by layering the quinoa, chickpeas, edamame, and tofu. Sprinkle the nutritional yeast evenly over the top for a savory, cheesy note.
Drizzle the tahini dressing over the bowl, finish with an extra crack of pepper if desired, and serve immediately.
