Ingredients

Rainbow Chard with Smoked Tofu and Cashews

  • 200 grams/7 ounces smoked firm tofu

  • large bunch of rainbow chard (about 340 grams/12 ounces), cleaned and chopped (see note)

  • 60 grams/1/2 cup raw cashews

  • 1 teaspoon Pereg Paprika

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin, such as Pereg Cumin

  • 2 teaspoons nigella seeds, divided

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • freshly squeezed juice of 1/2 lemon

  • freshly ground Gefen Black Pepper, to season

Directions

Prepare the Rainbow Chard with Smoked Tofu and Cashews

1.

To prepare the tofu, wrap it in paper towels, weigh down with a heavy item, then leave for 10 minutes to compress and squeeze out any excess water.

2.

Steam the chard for two to three minutes.

3.

Slice the tofu and dry-roast with the cashews, paprika, cumin, and half the nigella seeds in a wok or skillet/frying pan over a low–medium heat for four to five minutes, turning regularly.

4.

Add the steamed chard to a separate pan, toss in the olive oil, then stir-fry for one minute.

5.

Serve on warmed plates and drizzle over the lemon juice. Garnish with the remaining nigella seeds and season with black pepper.

Notes:

Rainbow chard can be checked for insects in the same manner as romaine lettuce. Separate each leaf, soak in soapy water, then rinse each under a strong stream of running water and examine under direct light. – Ed.
