Method:

Snip the corner of the pack of Sun-dried Tomatoes and pour out ¼ cup (60 ml) of the marinade. Add honey together with Chilli & Garlic Seasoning, stir to mix. Pour into a plastic bag. Add tofu blocks and shake gently to coat. Marinate overnight or at least for a few hours.

Pour the rest of the marinade into a medium size mixing bowl and bring to a fast boil in the microwave. Immediately add all the shredded cabbage, toss and season lightly with Vegetable Spice. Stir-fry the broccoli in a little oil until bright green. Add 2 T (30 ml) of water, cover with a lid and steam-cook for 2 - 3 minutes until just tender and bright green.

Season lightly with Vegetable Spice and keep on one side. Add Bulgar wheat and Vegetable Stock Powder to the 6 cups of boiling water. Cook for 8 minutes until tender. Drain, return to saucepan and toss with Creamy Herb Dressing.

To Assemble

Divide the Bulgar wheat between the bowls. Top with Sun-dried Tomatoes, tofu, cabbage and broccoli

Variation

Instead of Bulgar wheat use nutty brown rice, couscous or quinoa. Instead of tofu use feta or halloumi cheese.
