We have been absolutely besieged by SuperFoodsRx fans looking for healthy recipes that feature the SuperFoods. Both of our previous books included terrific recipes created by accomplished chefs. SuperFood fans loved these recipes but they wanted more. We are really excited to introduce in the SuperFoodsRx Diet the ‘dream team’ of recipe developers – the SuperFoodsRx Kitchen. That’s our name for the extraordinary team we’ve assembled to create the most appealing, healthy, mouth-watering – and yes, easy – recipes you could ever imagine.

The most important thing to know about the SuperFoods Rx Kitchen is that the recipes will be delicious, easy, healthy and appealing. Most important, they are not afraid of simple. Anyone who has ever roasted a vegetable knows that sometimes a recipe need have no more than two ingredients to be fabulous.

We will be sharing these mouthwatering recipes with you through the regular “Healthy Feels Great” newsletter, as well as featuring many of them throughout this web site.

Best of all, we are working on a brand new cookbook, which will feature the very best recipes developed by the SuperFoodsRx Kitchen and by the thousands of cooks who know the nutritional power of the superfoods.

Flavorful Roasted Tofu

Even if you’re a tofu novice, this tastes good. Roasted tofu is a versatile addition to a green salad, served over brown rice, or in place of cheese in a sandwich. Try it with avocado, tomato, and lettuce on wheat bread for a taste treat. Dice it up with some peas and corn and have it as a lettuce wrap.

Serves 6

3 garlic cloves
1 to 1½ inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
2 medium shallots, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 tablespoons any type of miso
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup low-sodium organic vegetable or chicken broth
1 large orange, zest and juice
1 pound firm tofu

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Finely mince the garlic and ginger in a food processor, or slice or mince with a knife, and add them to the shallots, chili powder, miso, oil, pepper, broth, orange zest, and juice in small bowl. Rinse the tofu, cut it into ½ inch-thick slices, and pat dry. Lay the tofu in a rectangular baking dish. Pour the marinade over the tofu and bake immediately. (Alternatively, allow to marinate for an hour, or even overnight, in the fridge before baking.) When most of the liquid is evaporated and saucy, the tofu is ready, 30 to 40 minutes.
