Holiday Roast Roll

 

Originally seen in Veggie Life magazine. Author unknown.

 

Rolling tofu is not as tricky as it sounds. All you need is a food processor

and a willing assistant who wants to have some fun.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2 pounds firm tofu

4 tablespoons arrowroot or cornstarch

2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

 

2 teaspoons powdered agar

1-1/2 teaspoons onion powder

1-1/2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon salt

3-1/2 cups <http://www.naturalland.com/cv/soy/holrec2.htm> Herbed Bread

Stuffing

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You'll also need:

Plastic wrap

Aluminum Foil

 

 

 

1. In a food processor, puree all roll ingredients, stopping to scrape down

the sides, as necessary. Mixture will be fairly stiff; don't add liquid.

Preheat oven to 350°.

 

2. On a work surface, lay down 2 16-inch long pieces of plastic wrap,

over-lapping them about 2 inches, lengthwise. Spoon tofu mixture onto waxed

paper and spread out into an 8 x 12-inch rectangle, about 1/2-inch thick.

Make sure thickness is even all around.

 

3. Lay a third sheet of plastic wrap on the work surface, and on it mound

the stuffing, forming it into a roll about 11 inches long. Carefully

transfer the roll to the center of the tofu rectangle.

 

4. Now is the time to summon your assistant.* With one person on each end of

the plastic wrap, bring the two sides together.* The tofu will meet over the

top of the stuffing roll, encasing it. Gently press together and smooth out

any places, including ends, that have stuffing showing through; twist ends

to seal.

 

5. Securely wrap roll in 2 layers of aluminum foil, making sure no plastic

is exposed. Place on baking sheet and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove

from oven, let cool in wrappings, and refrigerate until 1 hour before

serving.

 

6. To serve, carefully remove aluminum foil and plastic; wrap with fresh

foil, place on a baking sheet, and bake at 350° until heated through, about

30 minutes. Remove foil and transfer roll to a serving platter; decorating

as desired.

 

Makes 6 servings.
