Vegetarian cuisine that never tasted so good! This fabulous combination of pine nuts, seared tofu and Swiss chard will excite your taste buds.

Ingredients

Pine nuts

4 tsp(s)

Low sodium soy sauce

1 tbsp(s)

Black pepper

½ pinch(es)

Firm tofu

8 oz, drained and sliced crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices

Olive oil

2 tsp(s)

Garlic

2 clove(s), large, minced

Uncooked Swiss chard

6 cup(s), fresh, rinsed well and chopped

Instructions

  1. Set a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When pan is hot, add pine nuts and sauté until golden brown, shaking the pan often to prevent burning, about 3 minutes; remove pine nuts from pan and set aside.
  2. Combine soy sauce and pepper in a shallow dish. Add tofu; turn to coat.
  3. Heat oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add tofu and sear until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove tofu from pan using a spatula and cover with foil to keep warm; set aside.
  4. Add garlic to the same pan and sauté until just golden, about 2 minutes; add Swiss chard and cook until wilted, about 30 seconds. Transfer Swiss chard to individual plates and top with seared tofu and pine nuts. Yields about 2 slices of tofu, 3/4 cup of Swiss chard and 1 teaspoon of pine nuts per serving.
