Steps to make Greek Millet with Tofu Feta

1

Combine tofu marinade

In a sealable bag or glass dish, combine 1 pound of tofu cubes, ¼ cup of coconut vinegar, 1½ teaspoons of dried oregano and ¼ teaspoon of sea salt to generously coat all of the cubes or seal the bag and gently shake to mix everything together.

2

Marinate

2h

Refrigerate for about 2 hours or overnight, to marinate and absorb all the flavor.

3

Prepare millet

20

Over a stove, in a medium pot of 2 cups of boiling water, add 1 cup of millet then cover, reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes until all the water has been absorbed. If cooking the millet in an Instant Pot, on high setting, combine 1 cup millet and 1 ¾ cups of water, cover, and cook for 10 minutes then release the pressure naturally. Transfer the cooked millet to a large salad bowl to cool completely.

Add pint of cherry tomato halves, 1 chopped cucumber, ½ sliced red onion, and ½ cup of Kalamata olives along with the prepared marinated tofu.

Pour over the salad with the cooked millet and toss to coat and combine everything.

This was really good but honestly going to avoid raw tomatoes next time cause the juice just gets in it and makes everything taste like tomatoes :(

Does anyone know where I can get kalamata olives here in Czech? I'm visiting it for a month and not sure where to find them so I used normal olives instead.
