About Pesto tofu

Pesto Tofu is a flavorful fusion dish combining the creaminess of Italian pesto with protein-packed tofu, making it a delicious and nutritious option for plant-based eaters. This dish features firm tofu marinated and pan-seared, topped with a vibrant pesto sauce made from fresh basil, pine nuts, olive oil, garlic, and Parmesan cheese (or nutritional yeast for vegan options). Rich in protein from tofu and healthy fats from olive oil and nuts, Pesto Tofu is a heart-friendly, nutrient-dense choice. It provides essential vitamins like A, C, and K from basil, along with minerals like calcium and iron from tofu. While the dish is generally healthy, portions should be mindful of oil, nuts, and cheese, which can increase calorie and fat content. Perfect in salads, grain bowls, or on its own, Pesto Tofu bridges Asian-inspired tofu with Mediterranean flavors for a wholesome global cuisine experience.
