HIGH protein amazing. I put four tablespoons oil for the sake of the nutrition facts, but you should add as much as you want to make your tofu crispy,

Time 30m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (14 ounce) package extra firm tofu, drained and pressed
4 tablespoons gluten-free tamari
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 pinch cayenne pepper
4 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves (or more)
2 bunches swiss chard, thoroughly cleaned and chopped
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • to make marinade, mix tamari, garlic powder, and cayenne in a plate.
  • slice tofu into medallions, and place in marinade. let sit, turning occasionally, for a minimum of twenty minutes, and as long as you like,.
  • heat oil in pan over med-high heat.
  • carefully place marinated tofu in pan, and fry until golden, crispy edges form.
  • remove tofu. pour off excess oil if you feel there's too much left in the pan.
  • remove to plate to rest, and drizzle with remaining marinade for extra spice, if desired.
  • add garlic to pan and fry until it just begins to turn golden.
  • quickly add chard and salt. it might be a good idea to chop the stems a little smaller than the leaves, so the cooking time is similar.
  • cook until stems are tender, about 5-10 minutes
  • place tofu on plate and top with greens.
