Baked Marinated Tofu

 

Recipe By : www.vegetariantimes.com 4/99

Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Info/Tips Main Dishes, Vegetarian

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 pound firm Chinese-style tofu

1/2 cup marinade

(bottled or your own recipe)

 

Baked marinated tofu has a wonderful firm texture and meaty " mouth feel. "

Pressing the tofu before marinating allows you to slice the tofu thin yet

have it hold its form as an ingredient in dishes. The longer you marinate

the tofu the more pronounced the flavor.

 

Drain tofu. Cut in half horizontally to make 2 pieces. Line baking sheet

with 3 layers of paper or clean dish towels not laundered with fabric

softener. Place tofu on towels; cover with additional towel or layer of

paper towels. Place second baking sheet on top of tofu. Place heavy

weights (canned goods, cast-iron skillet, bottled water) on top of baking

sheet. Allow to sit 1 hour or longer (refrigerate if longer than 1 hour).

Unwrap tofu; remove towels. Tofu is ready to be marinated in bottle

marinade, dry seasoning mix, barbecue sauce or a sauce of your own

invention. Marinate tofu at least 15 minutes unrefrigerated or up to 5

days refrigerated.

 

Bake at 400 degrees on lightly oiled baking sheet for 1 hour. The tofu is

now ready to be cubed for use in salads, stir-fries or stews; or can be

grilled as cutlets. Makes 4 servings of about 3 ounces each.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup shredded potatoes

1 teaspoon olive oil

8 ounces vegetarian " sausage " or cubed firm tofu

1 1/2 cups Egg Beaters or egg whites

1/2 cup salsa

6 corn or whole wheat tortillas

Press moisture out of potatoes with tea towel or paper towels; set aside.

 

Over medium heat, place " sausage " or tofu in skillet with oil. Break up

" sausage " with fork while cooking. When crumbly, add potatoes; toss well

to mix. Cook, tossing frequently, until potatoes are tender, about 8 to 10

minutes.

 

Add Egg Beaters or egg whites; stir into mixture. Using a spatula, turn

mixture until eggs are set. Add salsa; mix well.

 

While sausage or tofu and eggs are cooking, cut 6 pieces of aluminum foil

egg mixture into 6 portions. Spread a portion over each tortilla and roll

it, then wrap in foil until ready to use or freeze.

 

To eat, remove foil. Place burritos on microwave-safe plate; top with

Mediterranean Tofu And Olive 'Quiche'

 

Recipe By : www.vegetariantimes.com 4/99

Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Soyfoods Main Dishes, Vegetarian

Vegetables

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

***CRUST***

3/4 cup unbleached white flour

3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1 1/2 teaspoons dried dill

1/4 cup cold canola oil

1/4 cup ice water

REMAINING INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 pounds firm tofu -- well drained

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons umeboshi vinegar

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

2 teaspoons white miso

1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt

1/3 cup water

1 medium onion

1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper -- (optional)

4 cloves garlic -- minced

1 tablespoon chopped mixed fresh herbs

(such as rosemary and thyme and oregano)

3/4 cup sliced cremini mushrooms

1/2 cup ripe olives -- chopped

(preferably kalamata)

8 sprigs fresh basil

Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto

(or other pesto recipe)

 

The trick to an excellent vegan pastry crust is to keep all the ingredients

cold. Even after you have rolled it out, keep the pastry-lined tart pan in

the refrigerator until you are ready to bake it. For this recipe, both the

prebaked tart shell and filling can be made one day in advance, then

assembled and baked just before serving.

 

Crust: In medium bowl, sift together both flours, baking powder and salt.

Add dill, oil and ice water. Working dough as little as possible, mix and

roll into a ball. Wrap dough in wax paper and chill 20 to 30 minutes.

Roll dough out and place in oiled 9-inch pie or tart pan. Cover and chill

another 20 minutes.

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Uncover crust and bake 15 minutes. Set on

wire rack to cool.

 

In food processor, combine tofu, 2 tablespoons olive oil, umeboshi vinegar,

balsamic vinegar, miso, salt and water and blend until smooth and creamy.

Transfer to medium bowl.

 

In large skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high

heat. Add onion, bell pepper and garlic and cook, stirring often, until

onion is soft, about 3 minutes. Add fresh herbs, mushrooms and olives.

Cook, stirring often, 5 minutes.

 

Add to tofu mixture, stirring until blended.

 

Pour filling into prebaked crust. Bake at 350 degrees, until top is

lightly browned, about 40 minutes. Serve with a dollop of sun-dried tomato

pesto garnished with a sprig of fresh basil. Makes 8 servings.

 

Per Serving With 2 Tablespoons Pesto: 277 Cal.; 14g Prot.; 17g Fat; 21g

Carb.; 0 Chol.; 602mg Sod.; 3g Fiber.
