Chipotle-Citrus Tofu And Broccoli

Gluten-free The combination of heat from the chipotles and citrus from the orange and lemon juices makes a flavorful sauce that packs a punch for the broccoli and tofu. This can be enjoyed alone or served over rice or quinoa; and, of course, you may substitute another vegetable for the broccoli (cauliflower or asparagus are good choices) or use seitan, tempeh, or cooked beans in place of the tofu.

  • 3 cups small broccoli florets

  5. YUM-o! This looks so good. I’ve been looking for a main dish for this coming Thanksgiving, and I think this might be it! Thanks to you and Robin for sharing it. 🙂

  7. We had this book from the library, and then all of a sudden it had to be returned before we’d made good use of it. We tried a chickpea-kale stew just before taking it back, since we had all the ingredients anyway, and it was an excellent stew. We loved the leftovers, too.

  12. My favorite one pot meal is this recipe I found on Pinterest:

    I just veganize it by using meatless Italian sausage, almond milk and cheeze. Super, super good.

  28. My fave is a quick one! I always have a quick cooking grain like millet around, then throw some veggies in. The key is to already have the veggies prepped, which I do since I like to snack on raw ones. I must get back into using tofu.

  37. My favorite one-dish meal is Tortilla Soup in the Vitamix – with black beans, corn, olives, and extra chiles. I’m a long time fan of Robin Robertson’s books and am currently exploring Kathy Hester’s … on the verge of ordering a smaller size crock pot. 🙂

  43. Mine is actually another of her recipes, a pasta with carrots, bok choy and baked tofu that my kids, and I, eat at least every other week. It’s my favorite go to recipe!
