The way to Make Jerk Tofu & Roasted Plantain Bowls
First issues first: the jerk! And we’re not speaking the type that cuts you off in visitors. Jerk seasoning originates in Jamaica, and it’s a smoky, spicy, warming mix. Our DIY model comes collectively in just some minutes with salt, brown sugar, and some fundamental spices.
For this recipe, we flip the jerk spice mix into an extremely flavorful sauce for the tofu and plantains by including olive oil, tamari, and maple syrup. Olive oil and maple syrup make sure the plantains get crispy edges whereas the tamari provides depth of taste.
The tofu we use on this recipe is tremendous agency tofu, which is excessive in protein and in addition has many of the water squeezed out, that means you’ll be able to skip urgent the tofu. As an alternative, simply crumble it into bite-sized items (that is now our favourite approach to put together tofu as evidenced by reveals A, B, and C)!
For the plantains, you’ll need to get your palms on some ripe plantains, which will likely be candy and irresistible. When ripe, plantains will likely be yellow with brown spots and barely comfortable to the contact. Take a look at our information to plantains for extra steerage.
As soon as your jerk tofu and plantains are within the oven, it’s time to make the accompaniments: mango cucumber salad and parsley tahini sauce. These two additions actually flip this right into a cohesive bowl and full meal.
Apart from parsley and tahini, the parsley tahini sauce has lime juice for brightness, tamari for total taste, maple syrup for steadiness, and water to get all of it mixing.
Plate up a little bit of every merchandise and put together for a second of silence whereas everyone seems to be busy savoring this scrumptious meal!
