This polenta recipe by lifestyle blogger Choosing Raw gives an interesting take on a tofu-themed dish by dressing it up with a central American spin complete with a zesty tomato salsa. This would be an ideal meal vegetarians to enjoy and still receive a substantial protein intake.
Finding vegetarian meals that can compete with meat-based ones in terms of protein intake can be a challenge, but subbing in tofu is a great alternative. This recipe marinates the tofu in a homemade BBQ mango sauce before putting it on the barbecue. The tofu is then placed overtop of a bowl of polenta and topped with a mango heriloom tomato salsa. The zesty salsa combined with the creamy polenta and smokey tofu create an aromatic dish that is ideal for summer and is a great alternative to a traditional soups.
