Honey-Glazed Tofu on Pumpkin Seed Couscous

Serves 6

30 minutes or fewer

Cracked black pepper—a coarser grind of the kitchen staple—lends a lightly spicy flavor without the bite of fresh chiles or hot sauce. If you can’t find shelled pumpkin seeds (also called pepitas), substitute your favorite chopped nuts.
  • 2 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • 2 10-oz. pkgs. extra-firm tofu
  • 2 tsp. cracked black pepper
  • 2 tsp. dried thyme
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil

  • 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 2 medium carrots, chopped (1 cup)
  • 1 cup frozen edamame, thawed
  • 2 tsp. olive oil
  • 1 ½ cups whole-wheat couscous
  • ½ cup toasted unsalted pumpkin seeds

To make Honey-Glazed Tofu:

1. Place tofu between two plates and set heavy pot on top. Drain 10 minutes, and pat dry. Cut tofu into 3/8-inch-thick slices. Combine pepper, thyme, and salt in small bowl. Coat tofu slices with pepper mixture, and set aside.

To make Pumpkin Seed Couscous:

2. Bring broth, carrots, edamame, olive oil, and salt to a boil in covered saucepan. Remove from heat, stir in couscous and cover. Let steam 5 minutes, then fluff with fork.

3. Meanwhile, heat oil and honey in large skillet over medium-high heat until bubbling. Place tofu in pan, and cook 3 minutes. Turn, and cook 3 minutes more, spooning thickening sauce over tofu.

4. To serve: Stir pumpkin seeds into couscous. Spoon onto plates, and top with Honey-Glazed Tofu.

This looks sooo good. I love pumpkin anything and this glaze looks amazing. I saw someone write about not loving the texture so I'll just have to use my Tofu Xpress (by the way it's the best invention ever!) I cant wait to try this tonight :)
