Vegetarian cuisine never tasted so good! Toasted pine

nuts and seared tofu combined with the rich flavor of

Swiss chard will excite your taste buds.

 

 

Ingredients

 

 

 

4 tsp pine nuts

1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce

1/2 tsp black pepper

8 oz firm tofu, drained and sliced crosswise into

1/2-inch-thick slices

2 tsp olive oil

2 medium garlic clove(s), minced

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

 

 

 

Instructions

 

 

 

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.

 

 

Combine soy sauce and pepper in a shallow dish. Add

tofu; turn to coat.

 

 

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.

 

 

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.
