Prep Time5 minsCook Time20 minsTotal Time25 mins

Yield: 3 servings
INGREDIENTS
 700 g Extra Firm tofu sliced
 2 tbsp olive oil
 2 tbsp unsalted plant-based butter
 ¼ tsp asafoetida (hing)
 1 cup sliced bell peppers (I used red and yellow) - optional
 1 cup sliced cremini mushrooms- optional
 ¾ cup uncooked quinoa
Honey BBQ sauce
 125 ml tomato paste
 2 tbsp soy sauce
 2 tbsp Braggs liquid aminos
 1 cup water
 1 tbsp honey (I used hot honey for an extra punch)
 Salt and pepper to taste
 Optional: cilantro chopped for garnish. Extra hot honey to drizzle on top.

DIRECTIONS
1

Heat large skillet on medium. Add oil, butter and asafoetida and let roast for 30 secs. Add tofu slices and let roast on each side until golden, about 4-5 mins. Note: Tofu should be well cooked and crispy before adding bbq sauce as the sauce will soften them. You may need to cook the tofu in batches in batches depending on size of your skillet.

2

Cook the Quinoa as per package directions.

3

In a small bowl add honey BBQ sauce ingredients (except salt and pepper). Once tofu cooked pour honey BBQ sauce over top of tofu in skillet and add optional peppers and mushrooms and continue to cook on medium, flipping tofu slices often to prevent them from burning and to coat both sides of tofu evenly. Optional- once the sauce has absorbed well in the tofu may add 1 tsp plant-based butter to coat the tofu. Once tofu has absorbed all the sauce and thickened up add salt and pepper to taste and garnish with cilantro and a good drizzle of hot honey.
