Roasted Tofu with Sauteed Dandelion Greens

I am going to post as many healthy, simple, cheap lunches as I can. And all of them will be primarily sourced from the Greenmarket. Mainly because I think that even though the economic crisis is weighing down heavily on us all, it is still important to eat healthily and support our local farmers. I hope to show you simple things to eat that are affordable for all.

Today I had sautéed dandelion greens and roasted tofu. I bought the dandelion greens for $2.50, and the roasted tofu for $4.00. The tofu came in two slabs, so I used only one today, bringing down my cost to $2.00. I also had some scallion in there, which I will approximate to be about $0.50. The total cost of my healthy, local lunch = $5.00. I bought the dandelion greens and roasted tofu from a Korean farmer. I think the name is called Tweefontein, but I will confirm this when I return on Friday. They sell a variety of tofus that they make on the farm (kimchee tofu, roasted tofu, and plain), as well as a variety of leafy greens and kimchee. Even if you cannot always shop at the market, it is worth the effort every once in a while.
