2. Add broccoli and tofu to baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 Tbsp. oil, add crushed coriander and pepper, and toss to combine; season with salt. Roast, tossing once halfway through, until broccoli is browned (even lightly charred in a few spots) and tender, 30–35 minutes. Let cool.

3. Meanwhile, add olives, 1 Tbsp. oil, and 1 Tbsp. lemon juice to a mixing bowl and toss to combine. Season with salt.

4. In a pan, sauté the cabbage with a teaspoon of garlic and a drizzle of olive oil until soft.
