INGREDIENTS
150g Firm Tofu
0.75 cup (150g) Cooked Lentils
6 Asparagus Spears
2 Large Eggs
1 tsp Olive Oil
Seasonings: Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut into thick steaks. Marinate the tofu in a mix of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and garlic powder for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the marinated tofu steaks on a lightly lined baking tray and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and slightly crispy on the edges.
Meanwhile, heat a small pot of water and gently add the asparagus spears. Steam for about 5-7 minutes until tender but retaining a slight crunch. Drain and season lightly with salt and lemon juice.
In a separate pot, gently warm the cooked lentils. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a squeeze of lemon juice, then mash lightly with a fork to create a rustic mash.
For the eggs, bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer and carefully poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Alternatively, fry the eggs in a non-stick pan if preferred.
Plate the dish by spooning a generous serving of lentil mash as a base, arranging the baked tofu steaks and steamed asparagus on top, and finally topping with the perfectly poached eggs. Garnish with a drizzle of extra lemon juice if desired, and serve warm.
