To drain: cut half and wrap in lint-free kitchen towel. Weigh down with plates and allow water to drain off. Takes about one hour to drain. This process creates a meaty texture to the tofu. Mix poultry seasoning and flour together and dredge the two pieces of tofu in the mixture. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Brush the floured tofu with enough olive oil to cover, place on cookie sheet and bake 15 minutes. Then turn and bake 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Cool and slice into 1/4-inch pieces. Set aside. Pour remaining oil into large skillet and over medium heat, sauté onions and garlic. Add peppers and mushrooms and continue to cook until everything softens. Add basil and oregano. Add plum tomatoes, sliced tofu and stir. Add marinara sauce and bring to a simmer. Taste and adjust flavor with sea salt and pepper. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
