Stir fried chard with tofu and chickpeas

Although chard can be boiled or steamed I've always preferred to stir fry it.

This meal - stir fried chard with smoked tofu and chickpeas is a quick and easy vegan meal that's full of flavour and healthy to boot.

Add a portion of grains (I like quinoa) and some other veggies or a salad or dip for a healthy, flavoursome and nutritious vegan meal.
