Crispy Tofu with Smoky Black Beans & Spicy Orange Salsa
I’ve heard that feijoada, the traditional Brazilian black bean stew, is sometimes eaten with slices of orange, to offset and freshen the richness in the beans. I got inspired by that flavour pairing to make this incredible dish. Whether you’re vegan, veggie or not, I promise you’ll love it.

Stunning loved this recipe….its a keeper! Used jarred Queens black beans as the stock is super tasty and brings this dish alive.

Thank you Cassidy <3 This dish really highlights the flavour of the black beans with subtle but complementary flavours. It's been a favourite in the Mob office!

Not for me really. Tofu wasn’t that great and the beans were bland and floury tasting. The orange with the scotch bonnet was delicious but not enough to save the dish.

I used smoked tofu for more depth, and added leek and mushrooms to the soup for texture and umami, turned out very nicely along w other seasonings.

I really liked the concept. The tofu came out a great texture and paired nicely with the other elements. I did find the tofu quite bland though so added some extra chilli salt.

the beans were very bland, they definitely needed more flavour than smoked paprika. there was rather a lot of tofu. the orange salsa lifted a boring meal

This was absolute winner tonight!
I added chipotle paste to the beans after seeing comments of blandness & served with steamed white fish for extra protein

Made this for tea last night. I liked the tofu although I think it needed a marinade prior to flouring and baking. Really enjoyed the orange salsa and would make again!But found myself double and triple checking the recipe to make sure I hadn't missed something ... the beans were bland and there seemed to be far too many of them! I would definitely make this again but halve the beans and include some spicy rice. Otherwise the dish just isn't filling enough (unless you want to eat a LOT of black beans).

The salsa was nice. I’d make that again. The rest was underwhelming. Not unpleasant, just a bit bland.
