Ingredients
Pine nuts
4 tsp(s)
Low sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp(s)
Black pepper
½ pinch(es)
Firm tofu
8 oz, drained and sliced crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices
Olive oil
2 tsp(s)
Garlic
2 clove(s), large, minced
Uncooked Swiss chard
6 cup(s), fresh, rinsed well and chopped
Instructions
1
Set a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When pan is hot, add pine nuts and sauté until golden brown, shaking the pan often to prevent burning, about 3 minutes; remove pine nuts from pan and set aside.
2
Combine soy sauce and pepper in a shallow dish. Add tofu; turn to coat.
3
Heat oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add tofu and sear until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove tofu from pan using a spatula and cover with foil to keep warm; set aside.
4
Add garlic to the same pan and sauté until just golden, about 2 minutes; add Swiss chard and cook until wilted, about 30 seconds. Transfer Swiss chard to individual plates and top with seared tofu and pine nuts. Yields about 2 slices of tofu, 3/4 cup of Swiss chard and 1 teaspoon of pine nuts per serving.
