Cooking Steps
- Peel, then cut potatoes into 1-inch pieces.
- Add potatoes, 1 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1 inch) to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-high. Simmer uncovered until fork-tender, 10-12 min.
- Meanwhile, pat tofu dry with paper towels. Cut tofu in half parallel to the cutting board. (NOTE: You will have two square tofu steaks per block.) Season with half the garlic salt and pepper.
- Heat a medium non-stick pan (large for 4 ppl) over medium heat.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then tofu. Pan fry until golden, 2-3 min per side.
- Transfer tofu to a plate. Cover to keep warm.
- Add maple syrup, balsamic vinegar and half the broth concentrate to a small bowl. Stir to mix
- Halve Brussels sprouts (if larger, quarter them).
- Reheat same pan from step 2 on medium.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and Brussels sprouts. Cook, stirring often, until butter is melted, 1-2 min.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add half of the maple syrup mixture and 1/3 cup (1/2 cup) water. Stir to coat.
- Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated and veggies are tender, 6-8 mins.
- Stir in cranberries.
- Drain and return potatoes to the same pot, off heat. Mash remaining broth concentrate and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter into potatoes until creamy. Season with remaining garlic salt and pepper.
- Thinly slice tofu.
- Divide mash, tofu and Brussels sprouts between plates.
- Spoon remaining maple-balsamic sauce over tofu.
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.) Season tofu in the same way the recipe instructs you to season the chicken. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then tofu. Pan fry until golden, 2-3 min per side. Transfer tofu to a plate. Cover to keep warm. No need to bake tofu after pan-frying.
Plate tofu in the same way the recipe instructs you to plate the chicken.
