Enjoy a vibrant dish featuring crispy lemon-herb marinated tofu, perfectly roasted asparagus spears, and a side of fluffy quinoa. A balanced blend of textures and flavors, this meal packs a satisfying tang with a delightful herbaceous aroma and a crunchy finish.
INGREDIENTS
300g Extra-Firm Tofu
8 Asparagus Spears
0.75 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 Lemon
2 cloves Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Thyme)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the asparagus spears. Drizzle with half the olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
In a bowl, whisk together the juice and zest of the lemon, minced garlic, chopped fresh herbs, remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper to form the marinade.
Gently toss the tofu cubes in the marinade until well coated. Let the tofu sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated tofu and sauté for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden and crispy.
Prepare the cooked quinoa if not already done. You may warm it up gently in a microwave or on the stovetop.
Assemble the plate by layering the quinoa, topped with the crispy lemon-herb tofu and roasted asparagus. Garnish with extra herbs or a squeeze of lemon if desired, and serve warm.
