Best Baked Tofu With Feta And Spicy Greens Recipes

BAKED FETA AND GREENS WITH LEMONY YOGURT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large heatproof skillet over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6-8 minutes. Add greens in handfuls, letting wilt before adding another handful, and cook, stirring occasionally, until bright green and crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 tsp. curry powder; season with 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Stir to combine, then add 1 cup water. Lay feta over greens and transfer skillet to oven. Bake until feta is soft, 10-12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining 4 Tbsp. oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant and just beginning to turn golden around the edges, about 2 minutes. Add chickpeas, season with 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper, and continue to cook, tossing occasionally, until browned and crisp around the edges, 8-10 minutes. Add remaining 1 tsp. curry powder and toss to combine.
• Stir yogurt and lemon juice in a small bowl; season with a pinch of salt.
• Scatter chickpeas and toasted garlic over greens and feta. Dollop with seasoned yogurt. Serve with toast alongside.

BAKED TOFU AND GREEN BEANS WITH SPICY RHUBARB SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk green onions, 1 tablespoon black vinegar, honey, sesame oil, garlic, coriander, ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes together in a bowl.
• Slice the tofu into bite-sized pieces. Place in a shallow baking pan. Add the green beans. Pour the sauce over everything. Allow to sit to marinate.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine rhubarb and jalapeno in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add coconut sugar, coconut aminos, remaining 1 tablespoon black vinegar, fresh ginger, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Mix together. Allow to sit for 10 minutes. Turn the heat to medium. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer until the rhubarb and the jalapeno are soft, about 15 minutes.
• Cover the tofu and green beans with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven until the green beans are tender to a fork, about 30 minutes.
• Uncover and remove the green beans. Set them aside to keep warm. Put the tofu back into the oven, uncovered, until the sauce is bubbly and has reduced, another 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, roast the cashews by putting them onto a small oven-proof dish and roast while the tofu is baking. Roast until browned, about 10 minutes. When cool to touch, chop the cashews. Serve the tofu and beans topped with the rhubarb sauce, chopped cashews, and a lime wedge.

SAAG TOFU (TOFU WITH SPINACH, GINGER, CORIANDER AND TURMERIC)

Steps:

• Drain the tofu on paper towels. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat in a wok or a large, heavy lidded skillet and add the tofu. Stir-fry until golden brown and remove from the heat.
• Combine the shallot or onion and the ginger in a food processor or mini-chop and blend until finely minced, almost a paste.
• Heat the remaining oil over medium-high heat in a wok or skillet and add the cumin seeds, fennel seeds and whole chiles. Cook, stirring, for about 15 seconds, or until the spices are fragrant and reddish-brown. Add the onion and ginger and stir-fry until it is lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the coriander, salt, cayenne and turmeric, stir for about 10 seconds and add the spinach in batches, adding the next batch after the first batch wilts and stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze.
• Stir in the tofu, cover, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes, until the spinach is uniformly wilted and the tofu is warmed through.
• Whisk the cornstarch into the yogurt. Remove the pan from the heat, remove the chilies, and stir in the yogurt. Taste, adjust salt and serve with rice or other grains.

BAKED TOFU WITH FETA AND SPICY GREENS

Prepare the marinade: chop green onions (1/2 inch), olives (quarters), and jalapeño pepper (minced) then mix with oil, lemon juice, capers, parsley and salt and pepper. Let sit while the tofu is draining. Preheat oven to 425 Combine the marinade with the feta (chopped into 1/2 in pieces) and put in a small baking pan.
