{ INGREDIENTS }

FOR THE PESTO

1 packed cup coriander leaves

1 packed cup basil leave

1/3 cup salted peanuts

3 cloves garlic

Juice of 2 limes

 

FOR THE NOODLES

100 grams gluten free rice noodles, prepared as per package

1 zucchini, spiralised or chopped finely

3/4 cup corn kernels (I used fresh but you can used frozen)

 

FOR THE TOFU

300 gram packet hard tofu, drained

1 1/2 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons gluten free miso paste

{ METHOD }

To prepare the pesto add all ingredients to the bowl of a small food processor. Whiz until it forms a thick, chunky paste.

Prepare the rice noodles as per the package instructions. Rinse under cold water, drain very well.

Cube the tofu into pieces about 1.5 cm (3/5 inch) square. Mix together the sesame oil, honey, and miso paste in a medium bowl until smooth. Add the tofu and toss gently to coat entirely.

Add tofu to a large, non-stick fry pan and saute until golden. Once cooked, place in a bowl and keep warm until required.

Use the same fry pan you used to make the tofu to get maximum flavour! Place it over medium heat and add the zucchini and corn, saute until the zoodles are softened and the corn has changed to bright golden in colour. Add the noodles to warm them slightly. Remove from the heat and toss through the pesto.

Serve noodles topped with tofu. Enjoy!

Bengal Tiger Lentil Curry

{ A CLASSIC NORTH INDIAN LENTIL DISH, THIS CAN BE DRAMATIC LOOKING, AS THE YELLOW LENTILS STAND OUT FROM THE SMALLER BLACK PULSES. MOST IMPORTANTLY, IT IS LUSCIOUS AND DELICIOUS. ONCE THE LENTILS SOFTEN, THE MORE YOU STIR THEM THE CREAMIER THEY BECOME. LENTILS AND BUTTER GO REALLY WELL TOGETHER, SO I DO RECOMMEND YOU ADD A LITTLE BUTTER AT THE END BEFORE SERVING. THIS IS GREAT WITH RICE OR INDIAN BREADS. }
