Cauliflower and Kale Bake

Cauliflower and Kale Bake

1 T. extra-virgin olive oil, divided

2 onions, thinly sliced

1 bunch kale (11/4 pounds), tough stems removed and leaves coarsely chopped (10 C.)

3/4 C. vegetable broth

3 pounds cauliflower, cut into florets (8 C.)

8 ounces 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.
