Kale, Tofu & Sun Dried Tomato Skillet



The hubs' triathlon is just around the corner (in a few days) and I've been cooking some seriously healthy stuff during his training. I wanted to keep things light tonight for after his mountain bike ride and stick with some super healthy kale and tofu.

This is a delicious one! So here is the recipe:

Kale, Tofu & Sun dried Tomato skillet

one bunch of red or green kale trimmed and washed well
diced extra firm tofu
a handful or so of sun dried tomatoes that have been marinating in olive oil
1 red pepper chopped
3 garlic cloves minced
juice of 1/2 a lemon
olive oil
1/4 cup water
salt and pepper to taste

In a large non stick pan, drizzle in some olive oil (not too much) and sauté the tofu on medium high heat until its golden on all sides. Lower the heat to medium and add your garlic, peppers and sun dried tomatoes. Cook for just a few minutes and then add your kale and a few good pinches of salt and pepper. Bump your heat back up to medium high once you've added the kale and stir everything together. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally and then add your liquids. Water & lemon juice. Give it a few more minutes to marry and cook on medium high until the kale is cooked to your liking. I like mine not too wilted and still bright green.

You can serve this over healthy brown rice or pasta...whatevah you love!
