INSTRUCTIONS

1
Bake the tofu

Preheat oven to 425°F. Combine tofu, lemon zest, cornstarch, 2 tbsp vegetable oil, a pinch of salt, and ½ tsp black pepper on foil-lined baking sheet and gently toss. Bake until lightly browned and crispy, 25 to 30 minutes. (4-serving meal: use 4 tbsp vegetable oil, 1 tsp black pepper)

2
Make the za’atar white bean purée

Combine cannellini beans, just half the lemon juice, just half the garlic, za’atar, 2 tbsp olive oil, a pinch of salt, and ¼ cup warm water in food processor. Pulse mixture until beans are creamy and smooth. (4-serving meal: use 4 tbsp olive oil, ½ cup warm water) (TIP: If you prefer, you can substitute water for some of the olive oil.)

3
Make the caper vinaigrette

Stir together remaining lemon juice, remaining garlic, parsley, tomatoes, capers, ½ tsp olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper in medium bowl. (4-serving meal: use 1 tsp olive oil)

4
Cook the green beans

Heat small nonstick skillet over high heat. Add green beans and sprinkle with salt. Cook, tossing occasionally, until bright green and starting to crisp, 3 to 5 minutes.

5
Serve

Spoon za’atar white bean purée onto plates. Top with lemon pepper tofu, green beans, and caper vinaigrette. Tuck in!
