Cooking Steps

Prep
1

• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim green beans if necessary. Zest and quarter lemon. Finely chop cilantro. Roughly chop pistachios.

Roast Green Beans
2

• Toss green beans on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 12-15 minutes.

Cook Couscous
3

• In a small pot (medium pot for 4 servings), combine couscous, half the stock concentrates, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low; cook until tender, 6-8 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

Start Tofu
4

• While couscous cooks, pat tofu dry with paper towels; dice into ½-inch cubes. • In a medium bowl, toss tofu with cornstarch; season generously with salt and pepper. • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add tofu and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, 3-4 minutes. (For 4 servings, you may need to work in batches.)

Finish Tofu
5

• Reduce heat to low; stir in jam, remaining stock concentrates, 1⁄3 cup water, ¼ tsp harissa powder, and a squeeze of lemon juice. (For 4 servings, use 2⁄3 cup water, ½ tsp harissa powder, and juice from half a lemon.) Simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 1-2 minutes more. • Remove from heat; season with salt and pepper to taste.

Finish Couscous
6

• Fluff couscous with a fork; stir in cilantro, lemon zest, juice from half a lemon (whole lemon for 4 servings), 1 TBSP olive oil (2 TBSP for 4), and a pinch of salt.

Serve
7

• Divide couscous, tofu, and green beans between bowls. Sprinkle with pistachios and serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.

  • Ease of prep: Several found it easy to prepare, with some appreciating the opportunity to learn how to cook tofu.
  • Suggestions: Consider marinating the tofu first for more flavor, and try air frying for a crispier texture.
  • Portions: Some felt the portions were too small, especially the couscous and green beans.
  • Texture: The tofu was crispy when fresh, but a few noted it doesn't reheat well.
