LIZZY’S TOFU & GREENS

I’ve been speaking to a lovely lady called Lizzy who runs a cookery school and vegan B&B in the Midlands.  So after our conversation I obviously headed straight to the recipe section of her website and found all manner of tasty and yet simple combinations.  In a rush to make something quick for the evening meal, I decided to make the “Eat your Greens” dish which was so up my street and super quick to make.  I used basil tofu instead of smoked as I had it in the fridge already and added rice noodles and peas to make it a main course.  It was so delicious, thanks Lizzy!  Next time I’ll try it with smoked tofu and can’t wait to try her chocolate brownies!
