Smokey Apple Tofu with Collard Greens, Fennel and Israeli Couscous
Lunch date!
Prepare the Marinade:
1/4 cup plus 2 TB of apple butter
3 Tb tamari
2 Tb lemon juice
1 tsp hefty mustard
red pepper flakes
Chinese five-spice
black pepper
tiny bit of liquid smoke
Extra firm tofu pressed and cut into rectangles
Collard greens, one bunch cut into strips, like so...
Place all of the following ingredients in a little bowl for when you cook the greens.
Sesame oil
1 Tb lemon juice
1 Tb orange juice
Braggs or tamari to taste
some water
Fennel, roasted with olive oil, salt and pepper. You can do this at the same time as the tofu if you didn't already have it prepared like I.
Grain of choice- I used Trader Joe's Harvest Blend
Okay now make it happen.
Bake the tofu at 400F in marinade for 50 minutes, flipping halfway through. Line the baking pan with parchment paper if you don't feel like cleaning the caramelized marinade off later. :-) It really does get messy.
Cook the grains according to directions around the 30 minute mark.
When the tofu is done, heat up the sesame oil in a wok that has a cover, add the greens, saute for 1 minute or until coated, add the liquids and cover quickly. Steam for 2 minutes or so.
The apple tofu was really yummy, even more so the day after. Enjoy!
