Here's what you need: extra firm tofu, quinoa, McCormick® Hearty Spice Blend, kosher salt, olive oil, large delicata squash, lacinato kale, sesame seed, fresh chive, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, lemon zest, water, McCormick® Hearty Spice Blend, kosher salt

Provided by Tasty

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

14 oz extra firm tofu
1 cup quinoa
2 teaspoons McCormick® Hearty Spice Blend, divided
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
4 tablespoons olive oil, plus 2 teaspoons, divided
1 large delicata squash, sliced into 1/2 inch (1 1/4 cm) rings
1 bunch lacinato kale, washed, stemmed, and cut into thin ribbons
2 teaspoons sesame seed, for garnish
fresh chive, sliced, for garnish
1 garlic, minced or grated
¼ cup tahini
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
3 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon McCormick® Hearty Spice Blend
1 pinch kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
  • Drain the tofu, then wrap in a clean kitchen towel or a few layers of paper towels and place on plate or tray. Place a heavy pot or something flat and heavy on top of the tofu and press for 10 minutes, checking halfway through to replace the towel if soaked through.
  • Cook the quinoa according to the package instructions. Set aside.
  • Cut the tofu into 1-1½-inch cubes.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together 1½ teaspoons of the Hearty spice blend, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3 tablespoons olive oil. Add the tofu and gently toss until well coated.
  • In a large bowl, toss the squash rings with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt.
  • Spread the tofu in a single layer on ½ of a baking sheet and the seasoned squash on the other ½.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, until the squash rings are tender and golden brown and the tofu has a nice golden crust.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a medium pan over medium-low heat. Add the remaining ½ teaspoon Hearty spice blend and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the kale and cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes, until wilted.
  • Make the garlic tahini sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the garlic, tahini, lemon juice and zest, water, Hearty spice, and salt. If the sauce seizes up or appears too dry, add about 1 teaspoon of water at a time and mix until smooth.
  • Assemble the bowls: Divide the quinoa between 2 wide, shallow bowls. Top with the kale, squash, and tofu. Drizzle the sauce over and garnish with sesame seeds and chives.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose firm or extra-firm tofu: This will hold its shape better when cooked and won't crumble apart.
  • Press the tofu before cooking: This will help to remove excess water and make the tofu more flavorful.
  • Marinate the tofu before cooking: This will help to add flavor and moisture to the tofu.
  • Cook the tofu over medium heat: This will help to prevent the tofu from burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: This will help to ensure that the tofu cooks evenly.
  • Serve the tofu immediately: Tofu is best when served fresh and warm.

The tofu Buddha bowl is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for lunch or dinner. It is packed with protein, fiber, and vitamins, and it is also very versatile.
