Avocado With Tofu Recipes

AVOCADO TOFU TOAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Cut the tofu block in half, lengthwise through the middle, making two blocks about 3/4-inch thick. Then slice the two blocks in half, this time through the center, making 4 triangular pieces of "tofu toast."
• Place the tofu in a single layer on the parchment. Spray the top with oil and bake until golden, crispy and slightly bubbling on the top, about 20 minutes.
• Take the tofu out of the oven, flip each piece over and spray with oil. Then return to the oven to cook for another 10 minutes. Let it cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes.
• To serve, slather the tofu toast with the avocado and garlic powder. Sprinkle with the black pepper, red pepper flakes and layer on sprouts, radishes and hard-boiled egg if using.
• Store any leftover tofu toast in an airtight container, in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat in a 400 degree F oven for 5 to 8 minutes, or in a microwave for 1 minute.

BLACK BEAN, TOFU & AVOCADO RICE BOWL

Steps:

• Heat the grill to High. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan, add the onion and cook, stirring, for 5 mins or so until soft. Add the garlic and sizzle for 30 secs more, then stir in the cumin and black beans. Cook for 5 mins until the beans start to pop and are hot through. Stir through the lime zest and juice, and season.
• While the beans cook, put the tofu in a bowl and gently toss through the remaining oil, the paprika and some seasoning. Line a baking tray with foil and arrange the tofu on top. Cook under the grill for 5 mins each side until charred all over.
• Heat the rice following pack instructions, then divide between bowls. Top with the beans, tofu, avocado, coriander and a wedge of lime. Add a few slices of chilli too, if you like it spicy.

AVOCADO WITH TOFU

Steps:

• Put the first 3 ingredients into a big serving bowl.
• Mix vinegar, sugar and soy sauce in a measuring cup until the sugar dissolves completely.
• Pour the mixture into the avocado mixture and let sit for 10 minutes.
• Using a small saucepan, heat the sesame seed oil together with the chilli pepper until it 'smokes'.
• Remove and pour this over the avocado mixture.

TOFU EGG SCRAMBLE WITH AVOCADO

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk eggs, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Crumble tofu into skillet. Sprinkle with turmeric, if using; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tofu is dry, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Add eggs and cook, stirring, until almost set, 1 to 2 minutes. Divide between two plates; top with avocado and tomatoes. Serve with toast, if desired.

AVOCADO AND TOFU DIP

Steps:

• Process the avocado and tofu in a blender or food processor.
• Add the apple cider vinegar, yoghurt, garlic and kelp to the avocado and tofu mixture.
• Blend until well combined.
• Transfer the mixture to a medium-sized bowl and fold in the sliced spring onions and finely chopped tomato.
• Place the mixture in a serving bowl.
• If not serving immediately, drizzle 1 teaspoon of extra-virgin olive oil over the dip to prevent discolouring, unless of course you are using a variety of avocado (such as Shepard in Australia) that does not discolour.
• Add the avocado slices for garnish, if using, and serve.
