Spiced Chickpea and Quinoa Power Bowl
Pan-seared tofu and chickpeas tossed in a zesty lemon-turmeric dressing, served over a bed of fluffy quinoa and fresh spinach for a vibrant crunch.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz firm tofu
0.25 cup canned chickpeas
2 tbsp cooked quinoa
3 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 cup fresh baby spinach
1 tbsp hemp seeds
0.5 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.5 tsp ground turmeric
0.5 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Press the tofu between paper towels to remove excess moisture, then cut into small, uniform cubes.
In a medium non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the tofu and drained chickpeas.
Sauté for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is golden on all sides and the chickpeas are slightly crisp.
Stir in the turmeric, garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, and nutritional yeast, tossing until the mixture is evenly coated and fragrant.
In a serving bowl, create a base with the fresh baby spinach and the pre-cooked quinoa.
Top the greens and grains with the warm tofu and chickpea mixture, then drizzle the lemon juice over the entire bowl.
Garnish with hemp seeds and serve immediately while the tofu is warm.
