Ingredients

  • 180g tofu
  • 120g quinoa
  • 80g sweetcorn
  • 80g red pepper
  • 2 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 10g lemon juice
  • 50g greek yoghurt
  • chopped parsley

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the sweetcorn and peppers, 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

    Coat the protein generously in Cajun seasoning. Mix the yoghurt with lemon juice and a pinch of the spice to make a cooling dip.

  5. 5

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

  6. 6

    Build the bowl: quinoa first, then the veg and crispy tofu, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the chopped parsley.
