Whole Wheat Cous Cous with Tofu and Almonds

I had to work hard to get flavor into this recipe.












Ingredients:
Whole Wheat Cous Cous
Tofu - extra firm
Frozen Edamame - thawed
Red Pepper - chopped
Fresh Tomatoes - chopped
Almonds - chopped
Balsamic Vinegar
Lemon
Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
Vegetable Broth (optional)

Press tofu between two clean dish towels to remove excess water. Cut into cubes. Bring 2 cups water or vegetable broth to a boil. Remove water from heat. Add 1 cup cous cous to the water and let stand for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, saute tofu and red pepper in olive oil until tofu is lightly golden. When cous cous is ready fluff with a fork, stir in tofu, red pepper, edamame and tomatoes. Add lemon juice, salt and pepper to cous cous mixture. Add balsamic vinegar to saute pan and reduce until slightly thickened, then add immediately to cous cous mixture. Add chopped almonds. Serve at room temperature.
