Guest guest Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 A beautiful day here today... I got tons of yardwork done and cooked up a new recipe. Tried this and loved it both hot or cold. Taken from Dreena Burton's Vive le Vegan cookbook. (If you don't have it, I highly recommend it.) Photo of the finished product on my blog. Lemon-Herb Tofu 3 1/2 - 4 tbsp of fresh squeezed lemon juice 2 tbsp tamari 2 - 2 1/2 tbsp of extra-virgin olive oil 1 1/2 tsp dried oregani 1 tsp dried thyme 1/2 tsp dried basil 1/2 tsp of honey alternative (I used agave nectar) few pinches of freshly ground black pepper 12 oz of extra firm tofu cut into squares 1/4 - 1/2 " think Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine everything except tofu in an 8x12 baking dish and stir until incorporated. Add tofu and coat all sides with the marinade. Bake covered for 13 min. Turn tofu over and bake uncovered for another 13-15 min. Turn again when there is just a few minutes of cooking time. The tofu should now have soaked up most of the marinade. Remove oven and let cool for a bit before serving. (If any marinade remains, pour it over the tofu befor e serving. Note: Mash leftovers and mix with vegan mayo for great cold sandwiches.

I left out the sweetener, and put it in a whole grain tortilla along with a mix of black beans, bell peppers, corn, and roasted onion. It was WONDERFUL but I am sad there are no leftovers to try it cold! :-7 Thanks for posting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot to say I also only used 1 tbsp of oil. I haven't heard of Dreena before; I will definitely go look at this cookbook!

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 When I made this recipe last night, I FORGOT to add the oil! The end product, though good, was really heavy on the lemon-y side of things, a taste of which I'm not overly fond of. However, today, I mixed the leftovers with lightly steamed cauliflower, diced; chopped up onion and celery, and about 1 cup of rinsed butter beans. Let come to room temperature, added vegenaise to moisten, and served on a bed of lettuce. YUM! A whole new recipe! (And since I forgot the oil the first night, it is still reasonably low cal!)
