Caramelized Tofu & brussels sprouts

Caramelized Tofu & brussels sprouts 

– Extra Firm tofu – cut into small cubes or strips

– olive or peanut oil

– salt

-3 cloves of garlic, minced

– 1/3 Cup pecans, chopped

– 1 T – sugar in the raw

– Fresh brussels sprouts – washed and cut into 1/4ths

 

1st: Cook tofu in hot skillet with oil & salt until golden on all sides

2nd: Add garlic, pecans & sugar and cook for a few mins

3rd: scrape onto a plate & set aside

4th: In the same pan add a more oil (and a dash of salt & garlic powder if you’d like) and put up heat to med-high.  Stir in shredded brussel sprouts and cook to your liking!  (I like some slightly browned)

 

I usually serve over a bed of rice… Rice topped with brusell sprouts and finished with the tofu/pecans.

 

ENJOY!!!! =)
