Sesame crusted tofu

Sesame crusted tofu

I have formed a new love with Tofu, i don't know what it is about it but its filling and you can pretty much flavor it however you like. Last night i attempted to try and coat some tofu in sesame seeds, the seeds didn't stick completely but it still tasted delicious, here's the recipe...

What you'll need:
Firm tofu, cut into flat pieces
2 garlic cloves crushed
juice of half a lime
Tamari (low sodium type of soy sauce, but u can use regular soy)
1 packet of sesame seeds
1tsp coconut oil

What to do:
in a container, combine the garlic, lime juice and tamari and add the tofu. allow the tofu to sit in the marinade for at least 20mins for it to absorb the flavors.When your ready to cook, take the sesame seeds and pour onto a plate, take the tofu out and dip into the sesame seeds, covering both sides. in a medium heat non stick pan add the coconut oil and the tofu. Cook for a few mins each side until the seeds are toasted. then if you like you can pour the extra marinade over the tofu while its still cooking for more flavor, its as easy as that!

If you weren't a huge fan of tofu, you could use the same marinade and idea with skinless chicken breast :)

I served mine with some steamed cabbage, broccoli and zucchini and a squeeze of lime, delish!
