Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup millet
1 14-ounce package extra-firm tofu, drained and cut into 1-by-1 1/2-inch pieces
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 bunch kale
Juice of 1 lemon
3 tablespoons tahini
1 teaspoon honey
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cups shredded red cabbage
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons salted roasted sunflower seeds or pepitas
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Toast the millet in a dry medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to medium low and cook until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, pat the tofu dry between paper towels. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu and cook, turning once, until well browned and slightly crisp, about 15 minutes.
  • While the tofu is cooking, remove the kale stems and chop the leaves into bite-size pieces; place in a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice and rub it into the kale with your fingers until the kale softens, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Whisk the remaining lemon juice with the tahini and honey in a small bowl; add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and whisk until smooth. Whisk in 2 tablespoons water and season with salt and pepper. Add 2 tablespoons dressing to the kale; add the cabbage, onion and a pinch of salt and toss well.
  • Fluff the millet with a fork and add to the kale mixture along with the sunflower seeds and sesame seeds; toss to combine. Divide the salad among bowls and top with the tofu. Drizzle with any oil from the skillet and the remaining dressing.
