Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Cook the quinoa
- Rinse the quinoa.
- In a small bowl, stir together the maple vinaigrette base and 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] oil.
In a small sauce pot, combine the quinoa and 1 cup [2 cups] lightly salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Add the vinaigrette, fluff with a fork, and season to taste with salt and pepper; cover and keep warm.
While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the rest of the meal.
2
Prep and cook the carrots and chickpeas
- Scrub or peel the carrots and trim the ends; thinly slice the carrots on the diagonal.
- Rinse the chickpeas.
- Coarsely chop the cilantro.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the carrots, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and starting to soften, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in the chickpeas and cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.
Transfer to a medium bowl, stir in the cilantro, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Wipe out the pan.
While the carrots and chickpeas are cooking, prepare the tofu and cucumber.
3
Prep the tofu and cucumber; cook the tofu
- Pat the tofu dry with paper towels and cut it into 1-inch cubes.
- Peel the cucumber if desired; cut the cucumber in half lengthwise, then crosswise into enough half-moons to measure 1 cup [2 cups]. Set aside for serving.
In the same pan used for the carrots and chickpeas, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the tofu, season with salt and pepper, and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly browned and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to another medium bowl, stir in the harissa, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
