- 60 ml unsweetened almond or soy milk
- ½ tsp thyme, rubbed
- ½ tsp salt
- For the bowls
- 50 g bulgur wheat
- 1 (red) chard (or radicchio or red cabbage)
- 100 g baby leaf spinach
- 3 tsp Kikkoman toasted sesame oil
- 285 g canned chickpeas (drained)
- ½-1 tsp lime zest and a little juice
- 150 ml coconut milk
- 1-2 tsp tahini
- 3-4 tsp Kikkoman naturally brewed soy sauce
- Freshly ground pepper
- Turmeric, ground
Preparation
- For the vegan feta, cut the tofu into cubes and mix with the finely chopped garlic and the remaining ingredients for the marinade. Refrigerate until needed.
- Prepare the bulgur wheat according to the instructions on the package. Cut the chard into strips and sauté in 1 tsp each of heated sesame oil. Repeat with the spinach.
- To make the sauce, puree 150 g chickpeas with some lime zest, a little lime juice to taste and the coconut milk, heat, then add the tahini, soy sauce, pepper and turmeric.
- Fry the remaining chickpeas in 1 tsp heated sesame oil for about 2 minutes.
- Arrange the bulgur with the spinach, chard and remaining chickpeas and vegan feta in bowls, drizzle with the warm chickpea sauce and serve.
Tips:
- The vegan feta tastes even more flavourful if it has been marinated for several hours.
- Use smoked tofu instead of the vegan feta and marinate with a little Kikkoman soy sauce.
- Optional extra topping - kale chips! Simply tear 300 g of cleaned kale into pieces, mix with a seasoning of 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp tahini, some salt, spread on baking sheets lined with baking paper and bake in a preheated oven at 110°C for 30-35 minutes until crispy. In between open the oven door so that the steam can escape - this way the kale chips become wonderfully crispy. Otherwise, simply extend the baking time slightly and turn the chips in between.
