Ingredients for NO SLEEP TILL BROOKLYN

Method

Directions for NO SLEEP TILL BROOKLYN

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Slice it into 1-inch thick slabs.

  2. 2

    Make the Coffee Rub

    In a small bowl, mix together ground coffee, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture over the tofu slabs.

  3. 3

    Cook the Tofu

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu slabs and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Cook the Quinoa

    Rinse quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Prepare Sweet Potatoes and Beets

    Peel and dice the sweet potatoes and beets. Steam or boil them until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  6. 6

    Make Miso-Cashew Cream

    In a blender, combine cashews, miso paste, and water. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust with more water if needed.

  7. 7

    Assemble the Dish

    In a bowl, combine cooked quinoa with sweet potatoes and beets. Top with mixed greens, walnuts, and dried cranberries. Place the coffee-rubbed tofu on top and drizzle with miso-cashew cream.
