Notes

This hearty bowl packs 37g of protein and 15.5g of fiber per serving! Inspired by my book Plant Protein (80+ delicious high-protein, plant-based recipes – order now via the link in bio), this recipe brings together vibrant veggies, silken tofu, and a rich cheesy sauce for a satisfying, nutritious meal. Perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, it pairs wonderfully with your favorite carbs like brown rice, quinoa, or seeded sourdough.

Ingredients

Veggie Base & Beans (serves 2)
- 1 white onion, diced
- 1/2 thumb of ginger, grated
- 3 garlic cloves, grated
- 2 small leeks, chopped
- 250g (8 ¾ cups) fresh baby spinach
- 300g (10.5 oz) silken tofu
- 3 Tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 Tbsp miso
- 570g (20 oz) jar butter beans, drained (about 400g or 1 ¾ cups drained weight)
- EVO oil, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- Fresh basil, to garnish

Cheesy Sauce
- 150g (⅔ cup) high-protein vegan yogurt (or swap for soaked cashews + coconut yogurt or tahini + lemon juice)
- 1 Tbsp miso
- 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast

Instructions

  1. Heat a glug of oil in a non-stick pan over low-medium heat. Add the diced onion, grated garlic, and ginger; cook until the onions turn translucent.
  2. Add the chopped leeks and spinach. Cook until the leeks are completely soft and the spinach has wilted (add a splash of water if the pan becomes too dry).
  3. Meanwhile, prepare the cheesy sauce by blending the vegan yogurt, miso, and nutritional yeast. Set aside.
  4. Transfer about two-thirds of the cooked veggies into a blender. Add the silken tofu, remaining nutritional yeast, and miso. Blend until creamy.
  5. Return the blended mixture to the pan along with the butter beans. Stir gently and warm through.
  6. To serve, plate the veggie-tofu-bean mixture and top with the reserved cheesy sauce, a squeeze of lemon juice, a drizzle of EVO oil, a crack of black pepper, and fresh basil.
  7. For a complete meal, serve with your favorite carb (brown rice, white rice, seeded sourdough bread, or quinoa).
