Tofu and Vegetable Stew

2

10 mins

A light, warming stew of silky tofu, courgette, broccoli and edamame simmered in a fragrant broth with garlic, spring onion and cracked black pepper. It's simple, comforting and made in one pot. The tofu and edamame give plenty of plant protein, and the vegetables add fibre and 3 of your 5-a-day.

Ingredients
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • ½ onion, finely chopped (or frozen chopped onion)
  • 4 spring onions, sliced (white and green parts kept separate)
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed (or ¾ tsp garlic granules)
  • 1 tsp black peppercorns, crushed (or more to taste)
  • ½ reduced-salt vegetable stock cube
  • 1 x 280g block firm tofu, cut into cubes
  • 300g courgette, diced
  • 150g broccoli, cut into small florets (fresh or frozen)
  • 150g frozen edamame beans

Storage information

Cool within 2 hours, then cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. It can be frozen for up to 3 months, although the tofu will become slightly spongier. Defrost overnight in the fridge and reheat until steaming hot all the way through.

Tip

Extra flavour: Stir in 1 tsp reduced-salt soy sauce or a squeeze of lime at the end. Heartier version: Serve with a 250g pouch of brown rice shared between 2 bowls.
