INGREDIENTS
0.33 cup dry Orzo (≈50g)
0.5 cup cooked Chickpeas (≈82g)
150g Firm Tofu
1 cup cubed Butternut Squash (≈100g)
1 cup Mixed Vegetables (≈130g)
1 large Egg White
1 tsp Butter
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic clove
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Thyme & Parsley)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cubed butternut squash and mixed vegetables with olive oil, salt, pepper, and half of the chopped fresh herbs. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
Meanwhile, cook the orzo in boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the firm tofu (cubed) and sauté lightly until it begins to brown on all sides.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and let it gently infuse the butter for about 1-2 minutes, ensuring it does not burn.
Combine the roasted vegetables, cooked orzo, sautéed tofu, and chickpeas in a large bowl. Drizzle the garlic butter over the mixture and toss to evenly coat.
Lightly whisk the egg white and stir it into the warm mixture, letting the residual heat gently cook it and bind the ingredients.
Finish by sprinkling the remaining fresh herbs over the dish. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, flavor-packed meal.
