ALMOND TOFU
2 servings
1 Package Firm or Extra Firm tofu
1/8 cup almonds
2 Tbsp liquid aminos
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp sesame seeds 3/4 for cooking, 1/4 for topping
2 tbsp Green Chili Sauce— Green Dragon from Trader Joes
1 tbsp coconut oil
-To press the tofu, wrap tofu in paper towel and place on a flat plate. Place a pan/skillet on top of the wrapped tofu in order to apply pressure and force out the moisture. Let sit for at least an hour
-Dice the tofu into 1 inch cubes and slice the almonds
-Melt 1 tbsp of coconut oil in a skillet over high heat. When the oil is up to temperature add the tofu cubes. Cook tofu on each side for 2 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.-Add the almonds to the pan when the tofu is nearly completely crispy. Allow the almonds to cook on high for 1-2 minutes with the tofu.-Add all of the spices, along with 3/4 of the sesame seeds. (save 1/4 for plating)-Add 2 tbsp of water along with the liquid aminos.
-Allow the spice blend and soy sauce to reduce all the way down until no liquid remains. You should be left with tofu/almonds that are coated with the spice blend.
-Top with the remaining sesame seeds and additional chopped almonds if desired.*Optional: 30 seconds before removing from the stove add in your favorite hot sauce. I use Green Dragon Chili Sauce from trader joes. Any hot sauce will work.
BEEFLESS TACO MEAT
4 servings
1 package Beyond Meat “Beefy Crumbles”
1 package cauliflower rice (the bag from Trader Joe’s has 3 cups, so 3 cups if you’re better than me and make your own)
1 tbsp taco seasoning
3 oz sliced black olives
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
serve with 2 tbsp guac per serving
-Combine all ingredients in a pan and cook until the cauliflower has softened, about 15 minutes. Portion and top with guac before eating
SESAME GARLIC SLAW
~4-6 cups of cole slaw veggies (I buy a big bag from Sam’s club/Costco and use about 3/4 of it for this recipe)
Dressing:
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 tbsp tamari
1 tbsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp grated ginger
1/2 tsp minced garlic
-whisk everything together and set aside so the flavors can combine
-in a large bowl, mix w/ cabbage, cole slaw mix, scallions, shredded carrots, anything your hear desires! and sprinkle more sesame seeds on top to serve.
-the veggies will soak up the dressing over time so I like to keep big portions over night and have it to eat throughout the week.
PEANUT BUTTER COCONUT BALLS
makes about 6-8 depending on size
6 tbsp creamy peanut butter
6 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
5 tsp powdered erythritol, stevia, coconut sugar, to taste
4 tsp almond flour
1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut shreds, more as needed
-in a bowl, mix together the peanut butter, cocoa, sweetener, and almond flour
-freeze for one hour
-using a melon baller or small spoon, spoon out about a tablespoon of the frozen mix and roll into a ball. roll it around the coconut flakes until covered. refrigerate overnight to firm up.
