Seared Tofu and Quinoa Salad with Roasted Chickpeas
Pan-seared extra-firm tofu served over a bed of fluffy quinoa and fresh spinach, topped with oven-roasted chickpeas for a satisfyingly crunchy finish.
INGREDIENTS
180g Extra Firm Tofu
80g Cooked Quinoa
65g Canned Chickpeas
12g Nutritional Yeast
10g Hemp Hearts
60g Fresh Spinach
3g Extra Virgin Olive Oil
15g Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the chickpeas dry with a paper towel, toss them with a pinch of sea salt and smoked paprika, and roast for 20 minutes until crisp.
While chickpeas roast, press the tofu to remove excess moisture and cut into thick cubes or slabs.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the tofu until golden brown and firm on all sides.
Place the fresh spinach in a large bowl and top with the warm cooked quinoa to slightly wilt the greens.
Arrange the seared tofu and roasted chickpeas over the quinoa and spinach base.
Sprinkle the nutritional yeast and hemp hearts over the top for a boost of protein and savory flavor.
Finish the dish with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice and a crack of black pepper before serving.
