Lately I have been eating a lot of variations on 4-5 ingredients because I have been very busy with work and have been cooking for myself only for the past 10 days. Plus I have a thing about greens, and this recipe has 3 green ingredients, which is probably why my iron is so good for a female running vegan!
Here is an easy one that I had for lunch today (about for dinner about 5 nights out of the last 10).......
Ingredients 1. plain tofu, cubed
2. baby spinach
3. 2x shallots, diced
4. 1/2 avocado (or some small broccoli florets if you prefer)
Plus chilli powder/chilli sauce and sesame oil (I know, that's technically 6 ingredients!)
Instructions 1. place big pile of baby spinach in bowl
2. cook up cubed plain tofu with a little bit of sesame oil and a generous dusting of chilli powder (in the absence of my beloved chilli sauce)
3. toss 2 diced shallots to cook in the with tofu
4. add 1/2 small avocado sliced in on top of the baby spinach leaves, then add cooked ingredients when you are happy with how cooked you like your tofu.
When you put the cooked tofu and shallots in on top of the baby spinach the heat wilts it nicely without actually loosing any of the raw green goodness :)
If you don't love
chilli (sacrilege!) you can place 1 tablespoon
tahini with 2 tablespoons lemon juice in a jar and give it a good shake to combine, and pour that over the tofu.
Baby spinach goes especially well with
chilli and
tahini flavours I think :)
