Hướng dẫn

If you want to make the quick pickled red onions (see notes), start those now as they need to sit 20-30 minutes along with the tofu feta.

To make the tofu feta, first press the tofu for at least 20 minutes, then crumble or cube the tofu. Add all ingredients to a container and marinate for at least 30 minutes up to overnight. You can substituted your choice of store-bought feta cheese here, using 2-3 tbsp per bowl.

Cook the quinoa according to package instructions, or bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add 1 cup of uncooked rinsed quinoa, cover and reduce to a very light simmer. Cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff with a fork.

Remove the kale leaves from the tough stems and finely chop. Place in a large bowl and add 1/2 tsp of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Massage with hands for 1 minute or until softened and dark green.

Dice the cucumber and tomato and finely chop the parsley, if using.

Assemble the bowls by preparing 4 bowls or meal prep containers, start with a bed of kale in each, then add the quinoa, tofu feta, olives, cucumber, tomato and hummus. Add pickled onions as well, if you made them.

Top each serving with a drizzle of tahini or lemon tahini sauce, parsley, lemon juice, salt and pepper and serve right away.
