How to Prepare Grilled Tofu and Squash With Chimichurri Sauce and Couscous [Vegan]
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the oregano and cook for 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
- Combine the parsley, cilantro, chili peppers, garlic, vinegar, 2 tablespoons water, lime juice and olive oil with oregano in the bowl of a food processor. Season with salt and pepper. Process until well minced. Set aside.
- Heat the 1 ¼ cups water to boil in a medium saucepan. Add the couscous, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot and cook the couscous until tender and all the water is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork, add the remaining teaspoon of olive oil, the pepitas, spinach and beans. Cover the pot and continue to cook over medium heat until the spinach wilts, about 3 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Cut the tofu into 1 X ½ -inch cubes. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and cut each half into ½-inch half-rounds. Cut the onions into 1-inch pieces. Using 4-inch skewers, thread the squash onto skewers. Skewer the tofu, alternating with scallions, on separate skewers.
- Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Spray one side of the skewered veg and tofu and grill until cooked, about 3 minutes per side. Season with salt and baste with sauce. Serve the couscous with the grilled veg, tofu and the chimichurri sauce.
