Marinated Natural Tofu with Seasonal Vegetables

Very often, fasting is the reason people turn to a plant-based diet. Not only during fasting periods, but throughout the year, tofu products are a great alternative for a quick and delicious meal. Tofu is fermented soy milk that has no taste and takes on the flavor of the spices with which you prepare it. It can even be consumed without heat treatment.

Today we have prepared a very pleasant and quick recipe for Marinated Natural Tofu with Seasonal Vegetables. We recommend that you always choose seasonal vegetables and opt for clean and proven organic tofu products.
 
Let's start preparing today's lenten dish, which is very quick and easy to make.

Required ingredients:

• 200 gr. natural tofu (ToFuTo natural tofu or Soyavit natural tofu)
• 50 gr. oil/olive oil
• 2 tbsp. honey mustard
• 2-3 tbsp. honey
• 3-4 tbsp. soy sauce
• 200 gr. broccoli/cauliflower
  
  Preparation method:
  Cut the tofu into medium-sized cubes and set aside.
  
  Then, we need to blanch the vegetables. As mentioned above, we have opted for seasonal vegetables – cauliflower and broccoli: break the cauliflower and broccoli into small florets, place them in boiling and salted water for about 5-6 minutes. After removing them, immediately immerse them in ice water to stop the cooking process.
  
  It's time to prepare the marinade for the tofu. We need a deeper bowl where we will mix the following ingredients:
   
• 3-4 tbsp. soy sauce
• 4 tbsp. olive oil
• 2 tbsp. honey mustard
• 2 tbsp. honey
  
  *Honey is often considered a "controversial food" during fasting, but it is actually not wrong to eat honey at this time of year, as it is believed to provide enough minerals and vitamins to the body precisely during fasting. Clerics even use honey during the Christmas fast.
  
  Marinate the tofu for about 20 minutes.
  
  In a preheated pan, fry the tofu on all sides. Turn it carefully so as not to burn it. Finally, season with a little salt and black pepper to taste.
