INGREDIENTS
1 cup Canned Chickpeas (drained, rinsed)
1 cup Mixed Vegetables (zucchini, bell pepper, red onion) chopped
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
120 grams Extra-Firm Tofu, diced
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Juice and zest of 1/2 Lemon
2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs (parsley & mint), chopped
Salt, Pepper, Paprika to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the drained chickpeas with a pinch of salt, pepper, paprika, and a drizzle of olive oil on a baking sheet. Roast for about 20-25 minutes until crispy, shaking the pan halfway through.
While the chickpeas roast, chop the mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces. In a skillet over medium heat, add a few drops of olive oil and sauté the vegetables for 5-7 minutes until just tender. Season with salt and pepper.
Cut the extra-firm tofu into 1/2-inch cubes. In a non-stick pan, lightly sauté the tofu over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes until edges are golden. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions if not already cooked. Once ready, fluff with a fork and stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped fresh herbs.
To assemble the dish, layer the lemon-herb quinoa as the base, then top with the sautéed vegetables, roasted chickpeas, and tofu. Give a final light drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of extra herbs if desired before serving.
