Easy simple plant based meal: Collard greens tofu pasta

My motivation

I always say in most of my posts, if I can do it ANYONE can. I did not like cooking ! I used to follow a recipe and more than 100% of the time I would mess it up. My husband would have to come add some of his magic and fix it or I would simply discard it and go somewhere to eat.

Not anymore, ummmm ok fine sometimes my husband still adds his magic touch;)

Anywho, my kids motivated me to cook for them. I wanted them to be healthy and eat homemade so if I don't make it how will it be homemade? I can't keep buy organic and not cook. 

The more I cooked, the more I liked it and I started experimenting !

So this recipe below is an experiment and guess what ???!!!! My husband LOVED it and he did not have to add anything. He did not even add salt BOOYA

I did not know what to name it so if you have a better name for it, please comment below ;)

Ingredients:

1 bunch of collard greens

1 bunch of cilantro

1 leeks 

1 block of tofu 

1 tbsp liquid aminos

salt and pepper to taste

grapeseed oil

pasta of choice

Method:

Cook pasta according to the package and set aside.

Chop collard greens , cilantro and leeks. Drain the tofu block, dry it with paper towels then cut in cubes.

In a large skillet, heat up a little of grapeseed oil ( 2 tbsp approx). You can use any oil you prefer I just like to use grapeseed oil.  

Then add the collard greens, cilantro and leeks. Saute for few minutes, then add salt, pepper and liquid aminos. Continue sauteing for about 3-5 minutes. Then add the  tofu and saute all together. 

Then add 1/2 cup of warm water, mix everything, cover and simmer. Simmer until the greens are wilted. Occasionally check and mix the mixture.  

It's ready ;) Pour over pasta or rice, whatever you wish. 

As will all my recipes, please feel free to substitute or add. You can add mushrooms, other spices, etc...
