    Mediterranean Inspired Tofu

    Main Courses

    Switch up your standard weeknight meal routine with this flavorful Mediterranean Inspired Tofu!

    Tofu, as many of you know, is an unparalleled source of plant-based protein coming in at 10 grams of protein per 1/2 cup serving from its soybean origin. We love it in this recipe because it is fairly flavorless and absorbs the Mediterranean flavors nicely. 

    To get this dish going, heat the olive oil and add the garlic and onions on a skillet or large pan. Sauté for 1-2 minutes. Then add the olives, tomatoes, sauce, and spices, and sauté for another couple of minutes. Add the tofu, lower the flame, and cook for 10 minutes with the lid on. Enjoy with the suggested toppings, and warm pita or bread!

    Bring the Mediterranean to your own kitchen with the delicious flavors in our Mediterranean Inspired Tofu. What are your favorite Mediterranean foods? Let us know in the comments below!
