Instructions
  1. Start by generously seasoning the tofu chunks with salt and pepper, then in a separate bowl combine the breadcrumbs, olive oil, cumin, paprika and nutritional yeast flakes.
  2. Meanwhile place the cornflour into another bowl, and the almond milk and apple cider vinegar into a third (leave this for 2-3 minutes until the milk starts to curdle). Pre-heat the oven to 200C.
  3. Roll the tofu chunks first into the cornflour, then into the milk then into the breadcrumb mix before placing onto a greased baking tray. Then place into the oven for 30 minutes, turning halfway.
  4. With 20 minutes remaining, put the rice on to cook and fry the courgette and aubergine in a separate frying pan. Place a saucepan on a medium-high heat and add the coconut oil. Once hot add the onion and carrots and fry for 5-8 minutes or until soft. Add the garlic and banana and fry for a couple more minutes then add the remaining ingredients. Simmer for a further 10 minutes.
  5. After this time remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully blend using a stick blender.
  6. Remove the tofu nuggets from the oven and coat with the sauce then serve with the courgette and aubergines and the rice.
