Preparation
- Over very low heat, in a nonstick skillet, cook cauliflower rice, stirring occasionally every 5 minutes. After about 5-7 minutes, add cilantro, lemon juice, and salt and mix well to combine. Continue to cook over low heat for another 5-7 minutes, making sure cauli rice isn’t sticking to the pan.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 450ºF and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- Toss all tofu ingredients together and transfer to prepared sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until tofu is golden brown and spices are cooked. Cool on wire rack.
- In a large pot, combine soaked black beans, broth, bay leaves, chopped chile, and saffron. Simmer over low-medium heat for 20 minutes, until liquid is mostly absorbed. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- To assemble, spoon cauli rice into a bowl, top with beans and tofu, and then raw toppings.
