Tofu Deliciousness

Piping Hot & Delish!

I make this veggie dish so often I figured I should post it. I adapted it from a recipe I originally found at whole foods. I haven't tried this yet but I think the tofu could easily be swapped out for some pre-cooked chicken and the asparagus with broccoli :-) I just happen to love tofu and asparagus and the best part... Do it all in one pot! So easy!!! This meal makes 4 generous servings with 340 calories and 18g of protein.

Ingredients

2 teaspoons garlic, finely chopped
1 cup finely chopped red onion
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, thinly sliced

1 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 pound vacuum-packed extra-firm tofu, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
