Ingredients

  • 180g tofu
  • 150g quinoa
  • 80g red pepper
  • 80g cherry tomatoes
  • 10g olive oil
  • 6g garlic
  • 10g lemon juice
  • large handful of parsley & oregano, chilli flakes
  • 15g red onion

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the peppers and cherry tomatoes, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Rinse the quinoa and simmer in 2 parts water for 15 minutes until the tails appear, then fluff.

  3. 3

    Press the tofu for 10 minutes, cut into cubes and air-fry or pan-fry until golden and crisp on all sides (about 12 minutes).

  4. 4

    Finely chop the herbs and mix with the garlic, olive oil, lemon juice and chilli flakes. Spoon the chimichurri over the sliced protein.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the peppers and cherry tomatoes for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the plate: quinoa first, then the veg and crispy tofu, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the red onion.
