Chard/Collard Greens/Mustard Greens

Ingredients:

• 1 cup brown rice, uncooked
• 16 oz. extra firm tofu, cut into ½ inch cubes
• 14 oz. black-eyed peas, cooked
• 1 bunch collard green, thinly chopped
• 1 ¼ cup BBQ sauce
• Salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Cut tofu into cubes and place in a shallow container. Add 1 cup of barbeque sauce, stir to combine. Allow the tofu to marinate for at least 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and bake the tofu for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, flip, and return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes until the edges are charred.
2. Bring the rice, along with 2 cups of water, to a boil. Cover and reduce to a simmer for 40 minutes, until all the water has evaporated. Set aside.
3. Once your black-eyed peas are cook, heat them up with ¼ cup barbeque sauce, in a saucepan over medium heat. In a separate saucepan, saute the collard greens with a little water until soft, season with salt and pepper.
4. Once the tofu is done you can assemble the bowls by putting the rice on the bottom, and topped with the tofu, black-eyed peas, and collard greens.
