Cauliflower and Kale Bake

Cauliflower and Kale Bake

1 T. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 onions, thinly sliced
1 bunch kale (11/4 lb.), tough stems removed and leaves coarsely chopped (10 C.)
3/4 C. vegetable broth
3 lb. cauliflower, cut into florets (8 C.)
8 oz. firm tofu, crumbled
1 C. shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
1 C. Italian-flavored whole-wheat bread crumbs
3 garlic cloves, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9- by 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Heat 1 T. of the oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook 2 minutes; reduce heat to medium. Add kale and broth; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until kale is almost tender, about 5 minutes. Add cauliflower, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until cauliflower is crisp-tender, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste and transfer mixture to baking dish.
Combine tofu, cheese, bread crumbs, garlic, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper in a bowl; stir to mix well. Spoon evenly over the vegetables. Bake, uncovered, until cheese melts, about 20 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
