Takes 5 minutes

Serves 2

Ingredients
 

  • 200 g pack of pre-cooked quinoa
  • 1 x 400g tin of black beans
  • 8 Cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 ground coriander
  • Juice of 1/2 lime
  • 2 fresh radishes
  • 1/2 ripe avocado
  • 1 x 200g block of firm tofu
  • 2 Tbsp Tamari/soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1 Tbsp of pumpkin seeds
  • Fresh herb of choice/micro greens to garnish

Instructions
 

  • Put a non stick pan on a high heat.
  • Chop the block of tofu into small cubes.
  • Add the sliced tofu to the pan and cook for 4 minutes stirring regularly. When it starts to stick to the pan ‘deglaze’ the pan by adding a couple of tablespoons of water and incorporating the flavour. Steam should rise when you deglaze the pan which will help cook the tofu.
  • Drain and rinse the beans. Add them to a bowl along with the ground coriander and the juice of 1/2 lime. Slice the cherry tomatoes in two and add them to the beans and mix well.
  • Time to pimp out your bowls - presentation is important in this dish so take your time and do your best to make your bowls look pretty.
  • Divide out the pre-cooked quinoa between 2 wide bowls. Divide the bean mix between both bowls. Slice the radishes into thin circles and divide them between both bowls. Spoon out the avocado half onto a chopping board and slice into strips and divide between the 2 bowls.
  • Add the tamari, the nutritional yeast, sesame and pumpkin seeds to the cooking tofu. Stir to incorporate it all and cook for a further minute and then turn off.
  • Top each bowl with the tofu.
  • Garnish with some chopped herb of choice or micro greens.
  • Enjoy!
