Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat oven to 425˚F.
- Wash and dry all produce.
- Roughly chop spinach.
- Peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Pat dry with paper towels. Cut tofu in half parallel to the cutting board. (NOTE: You will have two square tofu steaks per block.) Using a fork, poke tofu all over.
- Season with half the Moroccan Spice Blend (use all for 4 servings), salt and pepper.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then tofu. Pan-fry 2-3 min per side, until golden.
- Remove from heat, then transfer tofu to an unlined baking sheet.
- Roast in the middle of the oven for 6-8 min, until golden.
- When done, transfer tofu to a plate to rest, 3-5 min.
- Meanwhile, to a medium pot, add 2/3 cup (1 1/3 cups) water. Season with 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) garlic salt and bring to a boil over high.
- Once boiling, stir in couscous. Remove the pot from heat.
- Add spinach to the pot, then cover and set couscous aside for 5 min to rehydrate.
- When couscous is tender, fluff with a fork.
- Meanwhile, reheat the same pan (from step 2) over medium.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then peppers and onions.
- Cook for 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer veggies to a plate, then cover to keep warm.
- Carefully wipe the pan clean.
- Reheat the same pan over medium.
- When hot, add cooking wine, fig spread and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) water. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
- Cook for 2-3 min, until sauce reduces slightly.
- Remove from heat.
- Stir any resting juices from the plate into sauce. Transfer sauce to a small bowl.
- To the pot with couscous, add almonds, peppers and onions. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
- Thinly slice tofu.
- Divide jewelled couscous between plates. Top with tofu.
- Spoon fig sauce over top.
If you've opted to get tofu, pat dry with paper towels. Cut tofu in half parallel to the cutting board. (NOTE: You will have two square tofu steaks per block.) Using a fork, poke tofu all over. Season tofu the same way the recipe instructs you to season pork chops.
Cook tofu the same way the recipe instructs you to cook pork chops, decreasing roasting time to 6-8 min, until golden.
