Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges. 
  • Roughly chop spinach.
Cook tofu
2
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
  • While the pan heats, 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.) Using a fork, poke tofu all over. Season with salt and half the Lemon-Pepper Seasoning.
  • When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then tofu. Cook for 2-3 min per side, until golden. 
  • Transfer tofu to a plate.
  • Carefully wipe the pan clean.
Cook aromatics
3
  • Heat the same pan over medium.
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then swirl the pan until melted.
  • Add onions. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened.
  • Add garlic and remaining Lemon-Pepper Seasoning. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until fragrant.
Cook rice
4
  • Stir in rice, chicken stock powder, half the lemon juice, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt and 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water. Bring to a boil over high.
  • Arrange tofu and any juices from the plate over top. 
  • Reduce to medium-low. Cover and cook for 15-18 min, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. (TIP: Rice will abdsorb extra broth while it rests.)
  • Transfer tofu to a clean cutting board.
  • Sprinkle spinach over rice. Remove from heat, cover, then set aside for 3-5 min.
Make tomato-feta salsa
5
  • Meanwhile, cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • In a small bowl, add tomatoes, half the feta, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) lemon zest, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) oil, 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) sugar and remaining lemon juice.
  • Season with pepper, then stir to combine.
  • Squeeze a lemon wedge over top.
Finish and serve

  • Thinly slice tofu.
  • Add remaining feta to rice, then stir for 1 min until spinach is wilted.
  • Divide rice between plates, then top with tofu.
  • Spoon tomato-feta salsa 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.) Using a fork, poke tofu all over. Season tofu in the same way the recipe instructs you to season chicken. When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then tofu. Cook for 2-3 min per side, until golden. Follow the rest of the recipe as written.
