Easy, Black Bean & Tofu Delight

This easy 1-pan recipe is high in plant protein and very tasty! Makes 4 servings (so you can take some to work with you the next day!)

Ingredients:

  • 2 medium russet potatoes
  • ½ x 15 oz can of black beans
  • 1 x medium-sized yellow onion, diced
  • 3  x tablespoons of soy sauce
  • 3 x tablespoons of lemon juice
  • 1 generous drizzle of Sriracha (optional)
  • 1 x teaspoon of garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon of cumin
  • 2  cups water
  • ½ 14 oz package of organic extra firm tofu

Instructions

  1. Dice up and Sautee onion with a splash of water in a large pan on the stovetop over medium heat for 5 minutes (until translucent) – stirring often so that it doesn’t stick to the pan.
  2.  Dice up the potatoes into very small pieces, and add them to the pan with the onions.  Add 2 cups of water, as well.
  3. Add cumin and garlic powder and stir well.  Leave for 15-20 minutes on medium-high heat.  
  4. If the potatoes aren’t softened yet, leave for another 10 minutes until most of the water is absorbed.
  5. Drain the package of extra firm tofu and dice up half the container.  
  6. Rinse the can of black bean and separate half of it to use for this recipe.
  7. With a wooden spoon, move half of the potato and onion mixture to one side of the pan and add the tofu and beans to the other side.
  8. Add soy sauce and lemon juice to tofu and beans, allowing them to soak into the tofu. (optional: drizzle Sriracha) Stir well.
  9. Leave the pan on low heat for 5 minutes, so that the beans and tofu can warm up. Enjoy!
  10. Optional, serve on a bed of rice or a handful of organic salad mix.
