3 Delicious Fall Recipes

For this week's Monday Motivation we thought we would put together some of our favorite recipes from a few of our faculty members here at  Rise Together Today.

Dr. Mark Hymans Skillet Tofu with Broccoli and Peppers

This is a tasty and super-easy meal from Dr. Hyman's new cookbook Food the Cookbook that can be on the table in less than 20 minutes. You can easily use 1 pound of chicken or beef in place of the tofu as well as different vegetables depending on what’s available and in season.

Ingredients

2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 large red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and julienned
2 large broccoli heads (about 1 pound total), cut into small florets
1⁄2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced
1 pound non-GMO firm tofu, drained and crumbled
2 tablespoons wheat-free tamari
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1⁄2 cup vegetable broth or filtered water
1 tablespoon arrowroot
2 tablespoons of filtered water
1 tablespoon white sesame seeds
1⁄4 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves, roughly chopped

Directions

1) Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the peppers and broccoli, toss to combine, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the ginger and cook for 1 minute. Then add the crumbled tofu and stir until the tofu is well combined.

2) Add the tamari, vinegar, and broth, and bring to a simmer. While the tofu cooks, combine the arrowroot with the water and pour the mixture into the pan. Stir well and simmer for another 2 to 3 minutes to allow the liquid to thicken.

3) Divide the tofu among four bowls and serve immediately, garnished with the sesame seeds and cilantro. This dish serves up nicely with the Cauliflower Rice.

Chef Mareya Ibrahim Chai Pumpkin Oat Scones

Ingredients 

1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour

1/3 cup gluten-free quick cook oats

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon all-natural, no-calorie sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit extract

3/4 cup canned pumpkin

1/4 cup prepared chai tea (you can brew this or buy it prepared)

1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce

2 tablespoons Earth Balance baking sticks, melted or Coconut Oil

Directions 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

1)  Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray or line with parchment paper (or use Silicone baking pad).

2) In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients, including flour, oatmeal, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, sweetener, and salt.

3) Add the pumpkin, vanilla, chai tea, and melted Earth Balance sticks or coconut oil into the flour mixture and mix thoroughly.

4) You should have a soft dough consistency. Take care not to overwork the dough as it will make for a tough scone. If it is too sticky, add a little more flour.

5) Form the dough into rounds or roll flat and cut into triangle wedges.

6) Spray the surface of the dough very lightly with nonstick cooking spray.

7) Bake the scones for about 20-25 minutes or until golden.

8) Serve with a dab of pumpkin butter or Earth Balance spread.
