25-Minute Dinner: Sautéed Tofu & Kale with Quinoa

It's mid-week, we're all a little beat and The Dude's trying to make it to a 8pm yoga class. What to do for dinner? Something quite and light.

*Sidenote: I bought this new super firm tofu at Trader Joes the other day and it is seriously tasty and great to cook with. A new winner.

1 1/2 c dry quinoa
3 c. Water
1 tbls "not-chicken" base

Cooked the quinoa like you would rice, with the broth base.

1/2 cup diced red onion
1 pkg super (or extra) firm tofu, cubed
3 medium cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp paprika
8 oz of fresh kale
Salt & fresh ground pepper to taste (or Trade Joes' Everyday Seasoning, which I loooove)
2 tbls olive oil

Sauté the onion in the olive oil until caramelized. Add cubed tofu and brown until most sides of the tofu are golden brown. Add seasonings and cook for another few minutes, then add kale and garlic and sauté until kale begins to wilt. Turn of heat and add cooked quinoa to the sauté pan. Mix and serve!

That's all folks.
