List of Ingredients




4 tsp pine nuts
1 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 tsp black pepper
8 oz firm tofu, drained and sliced crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices
2 tsp olive oil
2 medium garlic clove(s), minced
6 cup Swiss chard, fresh, rinsed well and chopped




Recipe



Set a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When pan is hot, add pine nuts and sauté until golden brown, shaking the pan often to prevent burning, about 3 minutes; remove pine nuts from pan and set aside.


Combine soy sauce and pepper in a shallow dish. Add tofu; turn to coat.


Heat oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add tofu and sear until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove tofu from pan using a spatula and cover with foil to keep warm; set aside.


Add garlic to the same pan and sauté until just golden, about 2 minutes; add Swiss chard and cook until wilted, about 30 seconds. Transfer Swiss chard to individual plates and top with seared tofu and pine nuts. Yields about 2 slices of tofu, 3/4 cup of Swiss chard and 1 teaspoon of pine nuts per serving.
