INGREDIENTS
200g Extra Firm Tofu
2 medium Zucchini
2 tbsp Hemp Seeds
1/4 Avocado
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 cup Fresh Basil
1 Garlic Clove
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Drain and press tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut into cubes.
Chop the basil and garlic. In a blender or food processor, combine basil, garlic, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and olive oil. Blend until smooth, adding a small splash of water if needed for consistency.
Add avocado to the blender and blend again until the pesto is creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a pan over medium heat, lightly sauté the tofu cubes until they are golden on all sides.
Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles from the zucchini. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to create long ribbons.
Toss the zucchini noodles with the tofu and drizzle the creamy pesto over the top. Sprinkle hemp seeds over the dish for added crunch and protein.
Serve immediately, adjusting salt and pepper as needed.
