INGREDIENTS
250g Extra Firm Tofu
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1/2 cup Roasted Chickpeas
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 cup Baby Spinach
1/4 small Red Onion
1/2 medium Lemon
1 tsp Tahini
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut tofu into bite-sized cubes.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss the chickpeas with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper; spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until crispy.
Meanwhile, cook quinoa according to package instructions if not already prepared.
Lightly coat tofu cubes with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a splash of olive oil. In a non-stick pan over medium heat, sauté tofu until all sides are golden and crispy, about 8-10 minutes.
Prepare the vegetables by slicing the red bell pepper and red onion, and washing the baby spinach.
For the dressing, squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon, then mix with tahini, remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Assemble the bowl by placing cooked quinoa as the base, topping with sautéed tofu, roasted chickpeas, red bell pepper, red onion, and baby spinach.
Drizzle the lemon-tahini dressing over the bowl, toss gently, and serve immediately.
