This delight of a dish is way more then the sum of its relatively few parts; the miso flavoured whipped tofu is light and elegant and incredibly flavourful, while the juicy green crunch of the courgettes and peas is lovely, all topped with a load of delicious fresh mint. If you have a barbecue on the go, then cook the courgettes on this to get a smoky flavour, but we describe the way we do it using a grill.
Miso Tofu:-
250g firm tofu, drained
45g white miso
1 tbspn olive oil
Vegetables:-
50g frozen peas
2 large courgettes
4 whole spring onions, outer skin removed
1 heaped teasp chipotle sauce
1 tbspn extra virgin olive oil
12g fresh mint, roughly chopped
Whizz all the miso tofu ingredients until silky smooth
Turn the grill onto its highest setting.
Mix the olive oil, salt and chipotle sauce to make a smooth paste. Cut the into courgettes into 6 wedges (not discs), and place on a grilling rack skin side up - make sure you have a tray underneath to catch the drips. Add the spring onions. Brush the onion and the courgettes skins with half of the chipotle glaze. Grill for 7-8 minted until golden brown. Turn everything over, and coat with the remaining chipotle. Grill for a further 7-8 minutes.
Put the peas into the pan, to warm them through,. Set aside
Put a mound of the whipped tofu on each plate, divide the courgette, spring onion and peas between them, sprinkle with mint and serve
