Ingredients

2 Tbs garlic infused oil
1/4 cup peanut butter low sugar
2 Tbs Tamari sauce
2 Tbs maple syrup
2 Tbs barbecue sauce I used Fody, vegan, gluten-free and low fodmap
2 whole limes, juiced
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 pkg Super firm tofu I used Wildwood Brand
2 cups broccoli, frozen
4 spring onions, green parts only
8 oz spaghetti gluten free pasta
salt and pepper to taste

Method

Whisk together the garlic oil, peanut butter, tamari sauce, barbecue sauce, maple syrup, lime juice and cayenne.
Pour 1/2 cup of sauce into a cup and put it into the fridge for later.
Slice tofu and place in a bag. Cover with the sauce making sure that the tofu is covered completely in the sauce. Marinate for at least 1 hour.
When its time for supper, cook pasta by instructions on box and set aside.
Cook frozen broccoli in boiling water for about 5 minutes. Strain and place pieces on an oiled grill pan over medium heat. Add the tofu.
Cook tofu for 5-7 minutes each side. Be sure to keep turning broccoli so that it won't burn.
Add remaining sauce from the fridge to a small saucepan. Heat up and toss with the noodles.
Plate the broccoli, tofu and pasta, and sprinkle with tops of green onions. Serve immediately.

Notes

For those sensitive to peanut butter, you can make this with almond butter. It will change the taste a bit. Be sure to use unsweetened almond butter or a low sugar option.
