Tofu Couscous

[Guest guest]

Hi there. I am new to the list. I quit eatting red meat about 12

years ago and have recently quit chicken and fish. Here is a recipe,

orginally with chicken but I substituted with tofu. Very quick and

easy.

 

 

TOFU COUSCOUS

 

1 - 13 3/4 oz can vegetable broth

1 cup couscous

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 package of firm tofu cut into bite-size pieces

3/4 tsp ground cumin

2 Tbsp lemon juice

3/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1 small red pepper, seeded and cut into strips

2 scallions, sliced

 

In small saucepan over high heat, bring broth to boil. Add couscous,

cover, and remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes.

 

Meanwhile, in 10-inch skillet, cook tofu in hot oil over med-high

heat, stirring frequently, until browned. Stir in cumin; cook 1

minute. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice, salt, and black

pepper.

 

In large bowl, toss tofu, red pepper, and scallions. Add couscous

and stir. (You can put the couscous on top on the tofu mixture and

let stand for a few minutes. That way the veggies have a chance

to " cook " slightly from the heat.)

 

This is also very good cold, so makes a good picnic dish.
