Tender Braised Vegetables with Garlic and Herbs
Savor a hearty braised medley of tender vegetables, chickpeas, and extra firm tofu infused with garlic and a bouquet of fresh herbs. Each bite delivers a comforting blend of aromatic flavors and a satisfying texture perfect for any meal of the day.
INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup Chickpeas (~123g)
250g Extra Firm Tofu
1 medium Carrot
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 small Zucchini (~100g)
1 small Yellow Onion
3 cloves Garlic
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme
1 teaspoon Fresh Rosemary
1 teaspoon Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Drain and rinse chickpeas if using canned; if using dried, ensure they are pre-cooked until tender.
Press the tofu gently to remove excess moisture and dice it into 1-inch cubes.
Chop the carrot, red bell pepper, zucchini, and yellow onion into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic.
In a medium saucepan, warm the teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté until they soften and become fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the chopped carrot, red bell pepper, and zucchini to the pan along with the fresh thyme and rosemary. Stir to combine.
Pour in a splash of water or low-sodium vegetable broth (about 1/4 cup) to create a gentle braising liquid. Cover the pan and let the vegetables simmer on low heat for 5 minutes.
Gently fold in the diced tofu and chickpeas. Continue to braise everything together, stirring occasionally, for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still hold their shape.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
