INGREDIENTS
300g firm tofu
1/2 cup chickpeas
1 medium zucchini
1 medium red bell pepper
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoon mixed fresh herbs
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture and then cut it into 1/2-inch thick steaks.
In a shallow dish, lightly coat the tofu steaks with a drizzle of olive oil, fresh herbs, salt, and pepper.
Preheat your pan over medium heat and add a small splash of olive oil. Pan-sear the tofu steaks for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400°F. Chop the zucchini and red bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. Toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, pepper, and additional herbs if desired.
Spread the vegetables on a baking tray and roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they become tender with slight caramelization.
In a small bowl, toss the chickpeas with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a sprinkling of herbs. If desired, you can roast them with the vegetables for the final 10 minutes to achieve a crispy texture.
Plate the pan-seared tofu steaks alongside the roasted vegetables and chickpeas. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful blend of textures and flavors.
