Spring couscous with peas and marinated tofu is a quick meatless meal that even beginners can make. Simply pour boiling water over the couscous, add coconut oil, and let it absorb the water. Meanwhile, sauté the onion and peas in a skillet, then add cubed tofu seasoned with soy sauce. For extra aroma, stir in chopped parsley. For a meat version, replace the tofu with chicken.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Place 1 cup of couscous in a pot, pour in 1.5 cups of boiling water, and add the coconut oil. Cover with a lid and let the couscous absorb the water until tender.
Briefly sauté the onion and peas in a skillet.
Add the cubed tofu, season with salt and pepper, and add the soy sauce.
Stir in the cooked couscous and mix thoroughly to combine all the ingredients.

Tip: Before cutting the tofu, wrap it in a kitchen towel and briefly weigh it down with something like a cutting board to press out water so it absorbs the soy sauce better. Fluff the hydrated couscous with a fork to separate the grains.
