[...] Marmalade tofu with lemon pearl couscous and brocolli (based off this recipe). I think baked tofu is my favorite way to eat tofu. If you have any good baked tofu recipes [...]

I am in the process of going vegetarian but really don’t want to rely too much on the usual dairy and cheese. And this recipe seems very close to a salmon recipe I used to make a long time ago with marmalade and almonds :) I don’t like salmon anymore, and though I’ve never tried tofu in a main dish before, I’m sure this would be a great way to eat it for the first time. I actually have tofu in the fridge, I was going to experiment, but this is perfect… I have everything I need to make this tonight!

It’s my first time visiting your blog by the way, and I can’t wait to read more! Thanks for the recipe(s)!

I made this this morning to take in my lunch for work. I used tofu that had been frozen so it’d have a firmer texture, jarred marmalade and korean chili paste along with the other ingredients. It was great! I don’t really care for kale and I forgot not to eat the spinach in the fridge so I used a zucchini that I sauted in olive oil, salt/pepper and lemon juice. Each on it’s own was delicious and all together it was amazing! :D Thanks for a great meal-in-one! I like this kind of cooking b/c we’re not the best at choosing side dishes – and I’m horrible at time them! Everyone should try this recipe now now now! :D

This was definitely one of the five best things I’ve ever made. It was so A-W-E-S-O-M-E!

I think I might go make more of the tofu right now, even though I just ate.

I used barley instead of the couscous to get a whole grain in there. It took 4 cups of water and twice as long, but the lemon zest and juice was exactly the right amount. Delicious.

I second Laurin’s sentiment that offering recipes for whole meals is great. The combo of the kale, couscous (or barley, in my case) with the tofu was perfect. And such a healthy meal.

Thank you so much for this. It was amazing. And so easy! Starting at 7:00 with my cooking partner it was on the table by 8:35, even with breaks to chat. (We usually don’t eat until 10:30 b/c of complex recipes and wine.)

PS: I found this recipe on the iPhone app, so thanks for that, too!

I made this for dinner tonight, and it was delicious! I used some Trader Joe’s harvest grains blend (Israeli couscous, red quinoa, orzo pasta and lentils) and served with a side of roasted brussels sprouts tossed in sesame oil. My store-bought marmalade is the “low sugar” version but everything was still tasty, orange-y and sweet.

Thanks for the great recipes. My boyfriend and I are not vegans, but we’ve gone mostly vegetarian at home and I’m trying to cook lots of plant-based meals these days. This is a great blog and a great resource!

Oh, that looks fine!
Can I use ordinary cous-cous too?

This dish is wonderful! I made it with both tofu and fish, using peach-jalapeno preserves. Thanks!
