A nutritious, healthy & light lunch is a choice!
And with some spring smell in the air I am bringing more salad on the plate! And I often try to choose more protein for lunch in combination with some juicy leaves & good fat!
Roasted tofu & spinach salad
What you need:
• 120-150 g tofu (sliced in cubes)
• 2-3 tbsp of gram flour & pinch of tumeric (for roasting)
• 1 tbsp of ghuee
• 0,5-1 tsp of brown or caster sugar
• Juice of half lemon
• few handfuls of spinach
• 1 fresh carrot (grated)
• Toasted sesame seeds
• Salt, pepper, olive oil
• Roasted cachews
• Some balsamic cream
Process:
• Prepare green salad first. Mix spinach leaves witu carrot, add pinch of salt, sugar, and lemon and mix (massage) gently with your hand. Let it sit for a while.
• Pour away the excess liquid and add a tbsp of good quality olive oil & sesame seeds. Top-up with cashews.
• Roast the tofu. Slice it and gently roll in gram flour mixed with pinch of tumeric until covered evenly.
• Roast the cubes in ghuee butter in a well heated pan!
• Top-up your salad with the cubes and add some balsamic cream on it!
Chew well, eat slowly & enjoy!
