About this recipe:
A high protein, vegetarian dinner recipe that is ready in under an hour.
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ lbs tofu (extra-firm)
- 2 cups roasted red peppers
- ½ cup almond butter
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 ½ tbsp minced garlic
- 2 tbsp sherry vinegar
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 ½ lbs broccolini
- ¼ cup sliced almonds
Instructions:
- Wrap tofu in several layers of paper towel and place on a plate or baking sheet. Place a heavy skillet or pot on top to press out liquid: let stand at least 10 minutes, or up to 24 hours in advance.
- Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor, combined roasted red peppers, almond butter, tomato paste, garlic, sherry vinegar and 2 tbsp olive oil. Blend until mostly smooth, adding a splash of water if needed to create a thick sauce.
- Heat remaining 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Unwrap tofu and pat dry, season on all sides with salt and pepper. Add tofu to the skillet and let cook without moving for 4 to 5 minutes. Flip gently and cook another 3 to 4 minutes per side, until well browned.
- While tofu cooks, add 2 to 3 cups water to a large pot with steamer insert. Cover and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat: add broccolini and steam until just tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Serve tofu and broccolini topped with romesco sauce and sprinkled with sliced almonds.
