Ready in the flashiest of flashes

The other night I pulled off dinner from start to finish in 10 minutes flat.

Now I’m fairly certain the leftovers on hand were the supporting actors that allowed this to go down, but I also think this meal could be reproduced in an almost similar time frame again (give or take a few seconds depending on my knife skills).

Fresh (and very juicy) pineapple.

Leftover quinoa + leftover steamed kale.

Teriyaki tofu

As you can see, simply dicing ingredients and tossing them together isn’t exactly rocket science, but it is tasty.

All I added to the kale (sauce-wise) was soy sauce, agave nectar, lemon juice, pineapple juice, plus salt & pepper.

Basic brilliance.  To elevate the dish even more, a dash of chili pepper or some ginger and garlic might give it that extra oomph.  Not that I’m complaining, I enjoy foods in their purest.

    🙂 What else can there be? Are you gonna dip it in yogurt? Cover it with Chocolate Buttons?

    Love, Actually!! LOVE IT!!

    Tofu and pineapple is such a winning combination. If you bake them on the same sheet, the juice seeps into the tofu and it carmelizes…delicious!

  7. Kay

    NO! No bloody holly! Love that movie..

    Mmm pineapple and tofu. There is pineapple chopped up and sitting in my fridge as of half an hour ago. Damn it that there’s no tofu! This looks delish.
    Oh and I also love that film but totally didn’t get the quote – I think I’ve only seen it twice! Maybe only once!

    “You gonna dip it yogurt, cover it with chocolate buttons?!” I say that probably more than I should. Actually, I say a ton of lines from that movie, but this is my favorite.
