ARUGULA WITH TOFU
Updated: May 4, 2021
I believe that tofu gets a bad wrap. Probably because there's a lot of misunderstanding of how to use it. Its a vehicle for flavour and if you forget that, then yes, it can be bland and tasteless. Fear not! Here is a great tasty recipe that is low on carbs and high on life giving nutrients and taste!!
INGREDIENTS
Yields 2
Cooking Time 30 mins
● 7 3/4 ozs Tofu (sliced)
● 2 tbsps Extra Virgin Olive Oil (divided)

Add the tofu slices to a large dish along with half the extra virgin olive oil, tamari, half the lemon juice and raw honey. Marinate for 15 minutes.
Heat a skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat and add the drained tofu. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until crispy and browned on each side. Remove and set aside.
