Seared Tofu with Garlic, Swiss Chard and Pine Nuts
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 cloves, minced
- 6 cup Swiss chard, fresh, rinsed well and chopped
Directions
- 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.
