If we managed to intrigue you, you can find out how to make it easily and quickly at home in the next few lines. The preparation time for one serving is approximately 25-30 minutes.


Ingredients (for 1 serving):

• 50 g Bio Classa Organic Buckwheat
• 50 ml cooking cream
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp Dragon Superfoods Organic Nutritional Yeast
• 1/4 tsp Dragon Superfoods Organic Turmeric Powder
• 1/2 tsp Dragon Superfoods Fine French Sea Salt
• Pinch of black pepper
• 50g ToFuTo Smoked Tofu
  
  For the puree:
• 150 g sweet potato
• 1/4 tsp Dragon Superfoods Organic Turmeric Powder
• 1/4 tsp Bio Classa Organic Curry
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 50 g cream cheese
  
  Before we proceed with cooking, please note that you can replace the tofu with mushrooms and the sweet potato with regular potato if desired.

Instructions:
Boil Bio Classa Organic Buckwheat in water, ratio 1:3 (1 part buckwheat to 3 parts water), until it swells. This usually takes between 12 and 15 minutes. While waiting, prepare the ToFuTo Smoked Tofu by cutting it into cubes.


By the way, did you know that buckwheat, also called "the grain of millions," is one of the cleanest foods because its cultivation does not require the use of chemical pesticides? Moreover, it is gluten-free and rich in vitamins A, B, and E, as well as fiber, which improves digestion.

Back to the recipe: once the buckwheat has swelled, add the cooking cream and spices, and stir gently. Finally, add the tofu cubes, then we can proceed with preparing our side dish.

The nutritious and delicious smoked tofu pairs perfectly with all kinds of vegetables, but in this case, Ilona chose to combine it with vitamin A-rich sweet potato.

To prepare the puree, boil the sweet potato for about 20 minutes until it is tender. Then mash it together with the spices and cream cheese.

Once both components of the dish are ready, spoon equal portions of the buckwheat with tofu and sweet potato puree into a suitable plate and serve.
