Delicious quinoa and tofu recipe

This amazing quinoa dish tastes AWESOME! Plus, it's very good for you!  Quinoa, the seed, has a very large source of protein (Which vegetarians need).  So does tofu.  Try this recipe and let me know how it is!!!  I thought is was magnificent when we made it.

Curried Tofu:


Prepare firm or extra firm tofu:

Set the tofu on a paper towel, on a plate. Put something heavy on top of the tofu, like a can of tomatoes in a bowl. Let the tofu drain for 20-30 minutes. Then, cut the tofu into desirably-sized pieces. Place the chunks into the marinade and let soak for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Marinade:
2 Tbls Peanut Butter
2 Tbls Braggs Aminos (could be soy sauce or tamari)
1 Cup Coconut Milk
2-3 tsp curry powder
2 cloves chopped garlic
2 tsp grated fresh turmeric (I've really been loving this, but you could skip it since the curry powder probably has ground turmeric in it!)

Bake the tofu on a parchment lined baking sheet for about 40 minutes, turning it every 10 minutes.
