Ingredients
- 1 16 oz block extra firm tofu, drained and rinsed
- 2 Tbsp white rice vinegar
- 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar

- APRICOT MINT COMPOTE
- ½ cucumber, grated

Instructions
- 1 Wrap tofu in towel and press to remove moisture, then cut into ½-inch slices.

- 5 Cook your quinoa according to package instructions, if serving.
- 6 Heat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.
- 7 Place tofu on the grill using tongs and cook for about six minutes on each side, or until slightly blackened. Flip and repeat.
- 8 Steam your green beans in a large pot with a little water. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until just tender.
- 9 Divide tofu and green beans between plates and serve with optional cooked quinoa or grain of your choice. Top with compote and serve immediately.
- 10 Store leftovers separately in the fridge for 5-7 days.
