Savory Zucchini and Mushroom Rice Bowl with Black Beans
Enjoy a hearty and flavorful bowl featuring tender sautéed zucchini and mushrooms, protein-packed black beans, and marinated tofu served over a bed of nutty brown rice. A touch of olive oil and zesty lime tie the delicious ingredients together for a satisfying meal at any time of the day.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked brown rice
1 cup black beans (rinsed canned)
1 cup sliced zucchini
1 cup sliced mushrooms
6 oz extra firm tofu
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 lime wedge
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Press the tofu briefly to remove excess water, then cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the tofu cubes and sauté until golden on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Season lightly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cumin.
Separate the tofu from the skillet and add the sliced zucchini and mushrooms. Sauté them for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften but still retain a bit of crunch. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Add the black beans to the skillet and stir gently to heat through, about 2 minutes.
To assemble the bowl, layer the brown rice at the bottom, then add the sautéed vegetables, black beans, and tofu.
Finish the dish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice over the bowl for a zesty touch. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.
