• 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
• 1/2 head savoy cabbage, thinly sliced
• Salt and pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cook Spelt Grains: In a saucepan, cook spelt grains according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain any excess water and set aside.
2. Prepare Tofu: Cut the pressed tofu into cubes. In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, sesame oil, and sriracha sauce. Add tofu cubes to the marinade, gently toss to coat, and let marinate for 10-15 minutes.
3. Chargrill Tofu: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add marinated tofu cubes to the skillet, reserving the marinade. Cook tofu for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Remove tofu from the skillet and set aside.
4. Cook Vegetables: In the same skillet, add broccoli florets and sliced savoy cabbage. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-6 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
5. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked spelt grains to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the reserved marinade from the tofu. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
6. Serve: Divide the spelt and vegetable mixture between plates. Top with the chargrilled tofu cubes. Garnish with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro.
7. Enjoy: Drizzle with extra sriracha sauce if desired. Serve hot and enjoy this flavorful and nutritious spelt, broccoli, and savoy cabbage dish with chargrilled tofu.

Notes:

• Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas.
