Hodo Moroccan tofu can be purchased at select grocery stores, health food stores, or specialty stores. Yes, Hodo offers a range of other tofu flavors in addition to Moroccan tofu. Some popular options include braised tofu, yuba tofu sheets, Thai curry tofu, and five-spice tofu.

Absolutely! Hodo Moroccan tofu can be frozen successfully. Freezing it will help extend its shelf life and preserve its quality. Before freezing, make sure to drain any excess moisture and place the tofu in an airtight container or freezer bag. To prevent freezer burn, you can also wrap it in plastic wrap or foil. When you’re ready to use it, thaw the tofu in the refrigerator overnight. Freezing may alter the texture slightly, but the flavor should remain intact.

Here are a few delicious ways to prepare Hodo Moroccan Tofu:

  • Hodo Chermoula Moroccan Tofu Cubes
  • Cooked couscous
  • Raisins
  • Lemon juice
  • Almonds
  • Chopped parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375F.
  2. Roast the Hodo Moroccan Cubes for 20-25 minutes, turning them once or twice to achieve a nicely colored exterior on all sides.
  3. While the cubes are roasting, cook the couscous according to the package instructions.
  4. Once the couscous is ready, toss it with the still-warm Moroccan Cubes. This allows the couscous to absorb some of the delicious flavors from the tofu. Allow the mixture to cool down.
  5. After the mixture has chilled, add in the raisins, almonds, chopped parsley, and lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Tips for the Perfect Tofu and Couscous:

  • Tofu texture: Aim for a crispy exterior and tender interior on your high-protein cubes. Your oven will need to be pre-heated and hot to achieve this result.
  • Space the tofu out: This will prevent it from steaming and turning mushy. Creating space in the baking sheet will allow the sides to crisp and cook evenly. If your pan is too small to space them out, cook them in batches.
  • Taste to balance flavors: This recipe provides all the ingredients you need to balance the flavors - ensure you taste it before serving.

Additions and Substitutions:

  • Bulk it with veggies: Add a medley of bright, healthy vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, carrots, or sweet potatoes. Roast them ahead of time, saute or steam them.
  • Dried fruits: Along with raisins, you can add dried fruits such as apricots, dates, or figs to provide a pleasant sweetness and chewy texture.
  • Yogurt sauce: Whip plain yogurt, minced garlic (or garlic powder), lemon, and salt.
  • Swap the couscous for rice: Add the tofu to rice bowls for a gluten-free version.

Storage Instructions:

  • Partial cooking: If you want to save time on the day of serving, you can partially cook the tofu cubes in advance. Allow them to cool, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Cooked tofu and couscous: Store any leftover cooked tofu and couscous separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Store them for up to 3-4 days.
  • Raisins, almonds, parsley, and lemon juice: These ingredients should be stored separately. Place the raisins and almonds in sealed containers or bags, and store them in a cool, dry place. Store the chopped parsley in an airtight container lined with a paper towel to maintain freshness.

  • Salt and black pepper
  • Scallion
  • Garlic cloves
  • Cooked white rice
  • Nori (optional)
  • Chili oil (optional)
  • Black quinoa
  • Lemon

Instructions:

  1. Begin prepping the asparagus by removing the woody part of the spears. Rinse the asparagus under running water to get rid of any dirt. Pat the asparagus dry with a clean paper towel. Add the asparagus to an air fryer tray and coat it with the olive oil, salt and black pepper.
  2. Open one packet of the Hodo Chermoula Moroccan Tofu Cubes. Transfer to an air fryer tray and coat it in olive oil. You might have to break the tofu pieces apart into bite sized pieces using a fork.
  3. Air fry the asparagus and tofu for 8-10 minutes at 400F. The tofu will become golden and crispy. Add the juice of 1/4 of a lemon to the asparagus.
  4. Meanwhile, combine the scallion, garlic cloves, oil and salt in a food processor to create a sauce. Alternatively, you can mince the scallion and garlic cloves with a knife. Heat up a small pan and add the sauce. Allow it to cook for 30-45 seconds before adding the cooked white rice. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the rice is slightly crispy. Transfer to a bowl.
  5. Add the black quinoa, 1 cup water, and a pinch of salt to a small saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and cook until the spirals burst and water is absorbed, 18 to 20 minutes.
  6. In the bowl with the rice, add the tofu and asparagus. Serve with nori, chili oil, and any remaining scallion pieces.
