TOFU: Tofu & Broccoli in Garlic Sauce

[Guest guest]

This is one of the first recipes I used to make tofu. I'd been a

vegetarian for several years and I had always thought tofu looked

unappetizing. Then I got brave and tried this recipe, and I loved it.

My non-vegetarian husband loved it, too. Even my children loved it,

with modifications. :-) I always put lots of different veggies into

it.

 

You can use liquid Fruit Source in place of the honey or even just leave

it out.
