Ingredients:
1/3 cup pine nuts
1 cup basmati rice
100g extra firm tofu
1 tbsp avocado oil
1/2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp dark soy sauce
3 pieces garlic
1 red onion

1 tomato
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp za'atar
1 tsp sweet paprika
pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups water
5-6 slices lemon
1/3 cup chopped parsley
pickled turnips to serve

Directions:
1. Heat up a nonstick pan to medium heat. Add the pine nuts and toast for 3-4min. Then, set them aside
2. Rinse and drain the basmati rice 2-3 times to get rid of the excess starch. Then, set aside
3. Pat dry the extra firm tofu with a paper towel and place into a bowl. Crumble the tofu with a fork
4. Heat the pan back to medium heat. Add the avocado oil followed by the tofu. Sauté for 4-5min
5. Add the soy sauce and dark soy sauce. Sauté for another 2-3min. Then, set aside
6. Finely chop the garlic, red onion, and green chili. Dice the tomato
7. Heat the pan back to medium heat. Add the olive oil followed by the red onions and green chili. Sauté for 2-3min
8. Add the garlic, za'atar, and sweet paprika. Sauté for about 1min. Add the rice, diced tomato, and a pinch of salt. Sauté for another minute
9. Add the crumbled tofu and water. Give the pan a good mix
10. Arrange the lemon slices on top of the rice and bring to a boil. Turn the heat to medium low and cover and cook for 15min. Then, turn the heat off and let the rice steam further for 10min
11. Remove the lemon slices. Add the pine nuts and half of the chopped parsley to the rice. Gently fold over the rice to combine
12. Plate the rice generously. Sprinkle with a little bit more parsley and serve with some pickled turnips
