Nutty, chewy wild rice makes this simple dish special. We’ve called for extra-firm silken tofu, but you could also use your favorite baked tofu or sliced soy sausage in the sauce.
Ingredients
- 3 tsp. olive oil, divided
- 2/3 cup wild rice or wild rice blend
- 6 oz. extra-firm silken tofu, cut into 2-inch strips
- 1 cup peeled baby carrots, sliced lengthwise
- 9 cherry tomatoes, halved (2/3 cup)
- 2 Tbs. balsamic vinegar
- 1 1/2 Tbs. lemon juice
- 2 Tbs. chopped parsley, plus more for garnish
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (1 Tbs.)
- 1/2 tsp fennel seeds
Preparation
1. Cook rice according to package directions.
2. Heat 1 tsp. oil in nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu, and cook 5 minutes, or until browned, turning once. Transfer to plate.
3. Add remaining 2 tsp. oil to skillet, and reduce heat to medium. Add carrots to skillet, and cook 10 minutes, or until softened and beginning to brown, stirring occasionally.
