The dish is elevated with a hint of lemon and smoked paprika while the robust textures of tender bell peppers, spinach, and zucchini come together in a warm, satisfying meal ideal for any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup canned chickpeas, drained
150g extra-firm tofu, cubed
1 large egg
1 cup diced mixed bell peppers
1 cup fresh spinach
1 medium zucchini, sliced
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon lemon juice
PREPARATION
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the teaspoon of olive oil.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Toss in the cubed tofu and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until lightly browned on all sides.
Add the drained chickpeas to the skillet along with the smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper, stirring gently to coat and heat through for about 2 minutes.
Mix in the diced bell peppers, sliced zucchini, and fresh spinach. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables have softened slightly but still retain a bit of crunch.
In a separate small pan, fry or poach the egg to your liking, ensuring the yolk remains runny if preferred.
Plate the vegetable and chickpea mixture and top with the cooked egg. Drizzle with lemon juice before serving.
