Crispy Tofu and Veg Stacks with Pea Puree and Lemon Herb Sauce | Rebel Recipes (2)

The vibrant green pea puree makes an amazing bed for the crispy tofu, charred and caramelised veg and the fresh and zingy lemon and herb sauce.

But it’s all about the layers here, which makes it a light but substantial spring like dish which also looks incredible.

You could definitely make this for a special dinner and serve with some crispy potatoes and salad.

For me, this is the dish I could eat on repeat.

I hope you love it. Let me know what you think?
