Preparation
Cook the rice
Preheat the oven to 450°F. In a medium pot, combine the rice, 1 ¼ cups water, 1 tsp salt (double the water and salt for 4 portions) and a pinch of the spices; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 17 to 20 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, quarter the zucchini lengthwise; halve crosswise. Peel and cut the onion into ½ inch wedges. Drain and rinse the black beans. Halve the tomatoes. Mince the garlic. Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and stems.
Roast the zucchini & onion
On a lined sheet pan, toss the zucchini and onion with a drizzle of oil, ⅓ of the remaining spices and S&P. Roast, flipping and adding ½ the garlic halfway, 12 to 14 min., until tender.
Sauté the black beans
Meanwhile, in a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the remaining garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the black beans, 2 tbsp water (double for 4 portions), the remaining spices and S&P. Sauté, 3 to 4 min., until warmed through. Add ½ the vinegar and ½ the cilantro; stir well.
Season the tomatoes & cook the tofu
In a small bowl, combine the tomatoes, remaining vinegar, 1 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions) and S&P. Pat the tofu dry with paper towel; cut into medium cubes. In a second large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the tofu and cook, 2 to 3 min. per side, until golden and heated through.
Make the cilantro sour cream & serve
In a second small bowl, combine the sour cream, remaining cilantro, 1 tbsp water (double for 4 portions) and S&P. Divide the rice between your bowls. Top with the tofu, zucchini, onion, black beans and tomatoes. Drizzle with the cilantro sour cream. Bon appétit!
