Peel and finely chop the onion (1). Heat vegetable oil (1 tbsp) in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion (1) with a sea salt flakes (1 pinch) and fry for 4-5 minutes until soft. Peel and chop the garlic (2 cloves), add to the pan with the ground coriander (2 tsp), chilli powder (0.5 tsp) and ground cinnamon (1 tsp), and fry for 2 minutes until fragrant. Pour the black beans (1 tin) with their liquid into the pan. Stir through the cacao powder (1 tbsp). Bring to a simmer and simmer for 15 minutes until thickened and saucy.

Shred the cabbage (0.25 white) and add to a mixing bowl with the juice from lime (0.5) and a sea salt (1 pinch). Massage the [white cabbage] for a couple of minutes to soften it. Roughly chop the fresh coriander (1 handful) and stir it through the [white cabbage]. Taste and season to perfection.

Cut the smoked tofu (280 g) into 2cm cubes. Put a pan onto high heat and add vegetable oil (0.5 tbsp). Once hot, fry the [smoked tofu] for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crunchy round the edges.

Add the tahini (60 ml) to a bowl, squeeze in the juice from lime (0.5), then add the cold water (40 ml) in batches, whisking well with as much [cold water] as necessary to get a thick cream consistency. Season with a sea salt flakes (1 pinch).

Divide the [cooked quinoa] between the bowls and top with the [smoked tofu], [black beans], [white cabbage], tomatoes (12 cherry), and red onion (1 pickled).
