  • 3 garlic cloves, grated

  • 10g water (to loosen the sauce)

  • 150g couscous

Directions

  • Heat a frying pan with a little olive oil over medium heat. Fry the tofu cubes until golden and crispy on all sides.

  • Add the baby spinach and stir until wilted. Pour in 300g water, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Bring to a light boil.
  • Add the couscous and stir well. Cover with a lid, turn off the heat, and let it steam for 5 minutes.
  • Fluff the couscous with a fork to break up any lumps. Season with salt, black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Return the tofu to the pan and gently mix everything together. Serve warm in a bowl.
