This is one of my favourite ways to cook tofu, it's delicious eaten as a salad but would also be great served with wraps instead!

Ingredients
for the tofu and chickpeas
225g extra firm smoked tofu, drained
1 400g can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp ground garlic
1 tsp ground onion
1 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp flaky salt
1/2 tsp ground pepper
for the pickled red onion and cabbage
50g red cabbage, finely sliced
1 small red onion, peeled and finely sliced
100ml apple cider vinegar/wine vinegar
for the salad
50g romaine lettuce, shredded
75g cucumber, finely diced
75g tomatoes, finely chopped
10g parsley, finely chopped
1-2 tbsp chilli sauce (I used sriracha)
4 pickled green chillies, finely chopped
for the dressing
75g greek yoghurt
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 tsp apple cider vinegar/wine vinegar
Pinch of salt
About 1 tbsp of water
Method
Preheat your oven to 220c/200c fan.
Mix 1 tbsp of olive oil, the spices and salt in a small bowl.
Using a peeler, shave the tofu into thin slices. After a while it becomes a bit difficult to continue shaving the tofu, so instead, crumble the remaining tofu into small pieces. Place in a large bowl then add the spice mix and stir well.
Place the tofu and chickpeas on a large shallow baking tray. Pour a bit of olive oil on the chickpeas and a sprinkle of salt. Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden.
For the pickled onion and red cabbage, in a small bowl or jar, mix together the red onion and vinegar.
For the dressing, mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl or jar.
In a large bowl, add the chopped lettuce, tofu, chickpeas, cucumber, tomatoes, pickled onion and cabbage. Then drizzle over the dressing. And that’s it!
