Fried Tofu & Veggies with Couscous


*Casie Here*
There is a similar dish I made a while back, but this one I fried the Tofu. Boy was it good. 

Here is what I did:

1 cup couscous cooked according to the package directions
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 medium onion, diced
2-3 cloves of garlic, diced
1 can mushroom, diced
2 medium carrots, diced
1 medium zucchini, diced
1 medium yellow squash, diced
1/2 cup frozen peas

1 container of Tofu (I had extra firm, but any would work), sliced into small cubes

A few shakes of Shoyu sauce (could use soy sauce)

Sal & Pepper to taste

Directions: 
Make your couscous according to the directions and set aside.
Saute onions in cocout oil. Once transparent, add the rest one at a time as you get them chopped up.
 I added them in order above.
Mix everything in and heat through.
Add some salt and pepper
Once all the veggies are softened, fluff the couscous and then mix all the veggies in with it. In the pan you sauteed the veggies, put a little more coconut oil and let it heat up, medium high heat. 
Place the cut up tofu in the pan. LET IT SIT for quite a while. Maybe like 8-10 minutes. It has to get golden brown on the bottom before turning them over. Some may break, that is totally ok! Just try to scrape all the little bits off the bottom of the pan. When all sides of the tofu are golden brown, you are done! Add that to the veggie/couscous and mix all together.
I sprinkled on some Nama Shoyu (soy sauce) on at the end
Everyone loved it and it was especially a hit with the kids! 
Enjoy at your house!!!
