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.
