Israeli Couscous And Tofu Recipe.

Ingredients:

1 Block Extra Firm Tofu (Cubed)
3 Cloves Garlic (Finely Chopped)
6 TBSP Olive Oil
2 Lemons (Juiced)
1 Lemon (Quartered)
1 Red Bell Pepper (Thinly Sliced)
1 Yellow Bell Pepper (Thinly Sliced)
1 Cup Israeli Couscous
1 1/2 Cups Vegetable Stock
1/4 Cup Fresh Parsley
1/4 Cup Fresh Basil (Torn)
1 TSP Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

Recipe Instructions:

In a medium glass bowl, combine the shrimp, garlic, black pepper, 3 TBS olive oil, 1 TBSP lemon juice and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 TBSP of olive oil and add the bell peppers, cooking until crisp and charred, about 5-6 minutes, transfer to a dish.
To the same skillet, add the couscous and cook for 1-2 minutes until toasted.
Add the vegetable stock and remaining salt, bring to a rolling boil.
Cover and reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the couscous is tender and almost all of the liquid has been absorbed, about 10-12 minutes.
Uncover the skillet and top the couscous with the bell peppers and tofu, increase heat to medium, cover and cook until tofu has started to brown and is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat, drizzle with the remaining olive oil and lemon juice, garnish with parsley, basil and crushed red pepper, serve warm with the lemon wedges and enjoy!
