INGREDIENTS
350g Extra Firm Tofu
120g Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup Cooked Chickpeas
1 tsp Cornstarch
2 cloves Fresh Garlic
1 tbsp Fresh Rosemary (chopped)
1 tbsp Fresh Thyme (chopped)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Press the extra firm tofu for at least 20 minutes to remove excess water.
In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss the tofu slices in this herb blend.
Lightly dust the tofu with cornstarch on both sides to enhance crispiness.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small drizzle of olive oil. Sear the tofu steaks for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the asparagus with a touch of olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for about 10 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Warm the cooked chickpeas briefly in a small pan or microwave, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Plate the crispy herbed tofu steaks alongside the roasted asparagus, and top the dish with a scatter of chickpeas for an extra protein boost. Serve warm and enjoy!
