Wild Garlic Tofu Risotto with Asparagus
Creamy Arborio rice simmered with tender asparagus and topped with wild garlic marinated tofu that offers a vibrant, pungent bite.
INGREDIENTS
12 oz firm tofu
3 tbsp wild garlic
1 tsp olive oil
0.25 cup arborio rice
1 cup vegetable broth
1 cup asparagus
0.25 cup nutritional yeast
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp lemon juice
PREPARATION
Press the firm tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
Toss the tofu cubes with 2 tablespoons of minced wild garlic and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the tofu until golden and crispy on all sides.
In a separate saucepan, toast the Arborio rice with the remaining wild garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the vegetable broth 0.25 cup at a time, stirring frequently until the liquid is fully absorbed before adding more.
Stir in the chopped asparagus during the final 5 minutes of the rice cooking process until tender-crisp.
Remove from heat and fold in the nutritional yeast and lemon juice to create a creamy, savory finish.
Serve the risotto in a shallow bowl topped with the seared wild garlic tofu and a crack of black pepper.
