Vegetarian cuisine never tasted so good! Toasted pine nuts and seared tofu combined with the rich flavor of Swiss chard will excite your taste buds in under 30 minutes. Most recipes with tofu will call for pressing the moisture from the tofu before it is cooked so the tofu can absorb the flavors of a marinade. In this recipe, the earthy delicious flavor of tofu is the star allowing it to shine. Serve this combination over some mashed sweet potatoes for contrast of flavor. Make it a lighter dinner with some fluffy basmati rice seasoned with thinly sliced green onions, salt, and pepper.
