INGREDIENTS
½ cup cooked Barley
1 cup Mushrooms (Cremini or Button)
1 medium Zucchini
7 ounces Firm Tofu
¼ cup Chickpeas
½ tablespoon Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs (Thyme or Rosemary)
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a mixing bowl, toss the mushrooms with one minced garlic clove, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper, and half of the fresh herbs.
Spread the mushrooms on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes until tender and slightly browned.
Meanwhile, slice the zucchini into rounds. In a skillet over medium heat, add the remaining olive oil and sauté the zucchini with the other minced garlic clove, a pinch of salt, and pepper for about 5-7 minutes until just tender.
Press the tofu gently to remove excess moisture, then cut into cubes. Optionally, you can marinate the tofu with a little lemon juice, salt, and fresh herbs for additional flavor.
Lightly sauté the tofu cubes in the skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side until they develop a light golden crust.
In a serving bowl, combine the cooked barley, roasted mushrooms, sautéed zucchini, tofu cubes, and chickpeas.
Drizzle with lemon juice, sprinkle the remaining fresh herbs, and adjust the salt and pepper as desired before serving.
