Tofu slices with pumpkin seeds on apricot-tomato vegetable: a spicy little tofu dish: nutty, fruity, zesty – no meat needed!

Ingredients

  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 Garlic cloves
  • 240 g tomatoes (3 tomatoes)
  • 120 g apricots (3 apricots)
  • 100 ml classic vegetable broth
  • 100 g tofu
  • 30 g pumpkin seeds (2 tbsp)
  • 1 Egg white
  • Salt
  • 2 tsp Rapeseed Oil
  • Pepper

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Peel the onion and cut it into wedges. Peel the garlic and slice it thinly.

  2. 2.

    Wash the tomatoes, cut off the stem ends in a wedge shape, then cut them into wedges.

  3. 3.

    Score the apricots on the underside crosswise, briefly plunge them into boiling water, remove, rinse cold, peel off the skin, pit them and cut into wedges.

  4. 4.

    Bring the vegetable broth to a boil in a pot. Add the onion and garlic, cover and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.

  5. 5.

    Meanwhile, slice the tofu into four pieces. Place the pumpkin seeds on a flat plate.

  6. 6.

    Add the apricot and tomato wedges to the onions in the pot. Cover and continue steaming over low heat for about 2 minutes, then set aside warm.

  7. 7.

    Separate the egg. Whisk the egg white with a pinch of salt on another plate. (Use the yolk elsewhere.)

  8. 8.

    Carefully turn the tofu slices in the salted egg white, let excess drip off, then coat them with pumpkin seeds.

  9. 9.

    Heat the oil in a non‑stick pan. Fry the tofu slices over medium heat for about 2 minutes per side. Season the tomato‑apricot vegetable with salt and pepper and serve alongside the tofu slices.
