  Ingredients:

  • 14 oz extra firm tofu

  Quinoa:

  • 3/4 cup quinoa
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/3 cups water

  Sweet Chili Lime Sauce:

  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 clove garlic (crushed)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp dried mint leaves

  Collard Greens:

  • 1 bunch collard greens (middle stem removed, washed)
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tsp lime juice

  Preparation:

  Combine all quinoa ingredients in a pot with a tight fitting lid. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes. Whisk all of the sauce ingredients together in a bowl and set aside. Drain tofu and cut into thin triangles.

  Cook tofu in a frying pan (with no oil needed) until golden brown on each side. Combine the tofu and the sauce together on medium heat and cook for about 3 minutes. Set aside.

  Cook the collard greens in a pot. Layer each plate with quinoa, collard greens, tofu, and drizzle some extra sauce over the top.

  Serve, and enjoy!
