Mediterranean Herbed Lemon Tofu and Couscous Bowl

Step 1

Step 2

In a large bowl, toss all ingredients together until well combined. Season with salt to taste. Wrap bowl with plastic wrap and store in fridge until ready to serve.

Crispy Pita

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Cut each pita into 8 triangles. Add to a large baking sheet and toss with a couple drizzle of olive oil and heavy pinch of salt. Bake for 6 minutes then flip and bake for another 2 minutes until golden brown and crisp.

Step 5

While pitas are baking, heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated tofu and toss to coat in oil. Cook for 5-6 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden brown on each side. Add to a paper towel lined bowl to soak up excess oil (oil is ok, but you don't want it dripping in it).

Step 6

IMPORTANT: Don't toss the extra marinade in the bowl! It will be used in the tahini sauce.
