Don’t think of tofu as a boring food. If it’s of good quality and cooked well, it can become a tasty, light, and very nutritious dish. Among my favorite ways to prepare it is marinated tofu, easy and very tasty. However, I tried the chickpea cutlets, and the whole family fell in love with them! I used both plain and smoked tofu, much more flavorful. I then served them with a quick avocado cream that I’m sure you’ll like.
Let’s get to work and prepare the tofu cutlets together.
