Cooking Steps
- Roughly chop spinach.
- Peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Pat tofu dry with paper towels. Cut tofu in half parallel to the cutting board. (NOTE: You will have two square tofu steaks per block.) Using a fork, poke tofu all over. Combine half the Moroccan Spice Blend (use all for 4 ppl), salt, pepper and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil in a small bowl. Brush oil-spice mixture on tofu.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then tofu. Pan-fry until golden, 2-3 min per side.
- When done, transfer tofu to a plate, cover to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, add 2/3 cup (1 1/3 cups) water and 1/2 tsp garlic salt (use all for 4 ppl) to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, remove from heat, then add couscous. Stir to combine.
- Add spinach to the pot, then cover and let stand, 5 min.
- When couscous is tender, fluff with a fork.
- Meanwhile, reheat the same pan (from step 2) over medium.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then peppers and onions.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 3-4 min. Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer veggies to a plate, then cover to keep warm.
- Carefully wipe the pan clean.
- Reheat the same pan over medium.
- When hot, add cooking wine, fig spread and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) water. Bring to a simmer.
- Cook, until sauce reduces slightly, 2-3 min.
- Remove from heat.
- Stir any tofu resting juices from the plate into sauce. Transfer sauce to a small bowl.
- Add almonds, peppers and onions to the pot with couscous. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
