lemon baked tofu
Cut the tofu into 1 cm thick rectangles. Place them between two tea towels and press to remove the excess moisture. Cut diagonal slits across the top and bottom of the tofu for better absorption of the marinade.
Combine the lemon juice and zest, Italian herbs seasoning, lemon myrtle (if using), baby capers and brine, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add the tofu to this marinade, ensuring it’s well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preheat your oven to 400F/200C. Arrange the tofu pieces on a baking tray and drizzle half of the remaining marinade over them.
Bake the tofu for 15 minutes. Then, flip the pieces over, brush them with the rest of the marinade, and bake for another 15 minutes. Your Herby Lemon Tofu is ready to enjoy!

Bright with lemon and herbs, and packed with hearty greens, this highly adaptable soup can be either light and brothy or thick and stewlike, depending on your preference. Smashing some of the beans to release their starch will give you a thicker soup that’s almost worthy of a fork. To keep it on the brothy side, add a little more liquid and leave the beans intact. Either way, it’s a warming, piquant, one-pot meal that’s perfect for winter.

Nutritional Information
Preparation
Step 1
Heat a large pot over medium-high for a minute or so to warm it up. Add the oil and heat until it thins out, about 30 seconds. Add onion and carrot, and sauté until very soft and brown at the edges, 7 to 10 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, rinse the greens and pull the leaves off the stems. Tear or chop into bite-size pieces and set aside.
Step 3
When the onion is golden, add tomato paste, ¾ teaspoon cumin and ⅛ teaspoon red-pepper flakes to the pot, and sauté until paste darkens, about 1 minute. Add turkey, garlic, ginger and 1 teaspoon salt, and sauté, breaking up the meat with your spoon, until turkey is browned in spots, 4 to 7 minutes.
Step 4
Add stock and beans, and bring to a simmer. Let simmer until the soup is thick and flavorful, adding more salt if needed, 15 to 25 minutes. If you like a thicker broth, you can smash some of the beans with the back of the spoon to release their starch. Or leave the beans whole for a brothier soup.
Step 5
Add the greens to the pot and simmer until they are very soft. This will take 5 to 10 minutes for most greens, but tough collard greens might take 15 minutes. (Add a little water if the broth gets too reduced.)
Step 6
Stir herbs and lemon juice into the pot, taste and add more salt, cumin and lemon until the broth is lively and bright-tasting. Serve topped with a drizzle of olive oil and more red-pepper flakes, if desired.
