Instructions

1. 1

   Press 1 block of extra-firm tofu for at least 30 minutes to remove excess water, then cut it into 1-inch thick slices.

2. 2

   In a shallow dish, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of Cajun seasoning, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper evenly over all sides of the tofu slices.

3. 3

   Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then carefully add the seasoned tofu and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, setting it aside on a plate.

4. 4

   Reduce the heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet, then sauté 1 medium diced yellow onion, 1 medium diced green bell pepper, and 1 medium diced celery stalk for 5-7 minutes until softened.

5. 5

   Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and 0.5 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.

6. 6

   Add 1 pound of roughly chopped mustard greens and 1 cup of vegetable broth to the skillet, bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 10-15 minutes until the greens are tender.

7. 7

   Uncover the skillet, stir in 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the liquid to reduce slightly and flavors to meld.

8. 8

   Serve the pan-seared Cajun tofu immediately over the spicy mustard greens.
