This quick and healthy dinner pairs creamy tofu and crispy snap peas (or broccoli) with a tahini-maple sauce. Serve with udon noodles or rice. If you are using broccoli, roast it with the tofu. From EatingWell Magazine . Ingredients:
1 (14 ounce) package water-packed extra firm tofu, rinsed, patted dry and cut into 1-inch cubes |
1 medium red onion, sliced |
2 teaspoons canola oil |
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper |
1 tablespoon tahini |
1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce |
2 teaspoons pure maple syrup |
1 teaspoon cider vinegar |
3 cups sugar snap peas, trimmed or 3 cups broccoli |
1 tablespoon sesame seeds |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
2. Toss tofu, onion, canola oil, sesame oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Spread on a large baking sheet and roast until the tofu is lightly golden on top and the onions are browning in spots, 15 to 20 minutes.
3. Whisk tahini, soy sauce, maple syrup and vinegar in a small dish until combined. Remove the tofu from the oven, add snap peas and drizzle with the maple sauce; stir to combine. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Return to the oven and continue roasting until the peas are crisp-tender, 8 to 12 minutes more.
