Tofu
I can’t believe it has taken me this long to do tofu. Tofu also known as bean curd historically has been associated with bland and boring vegetarian meals, however times have changed and there are many different types of tofu and ways to cook with it.
With very little fat and lots of calcium, iron and protein tofu can be very beneficial when using regularly in your diet. Be sure to select GMO free products and where possible fermented tofu like tempeh has even more overall benefits to your health.
Tofu can be used in many dished including but not limited to stir fry’s, grilled, quiches/scrambles, casseroles, tagines, desserts (silken tofu usually best), and on skewers.
