Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

1 pound soft tofu

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup diced white onion

3 cloves garlic -- minced

10 ounces diced fresh mushrooms

(button or portabella)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/3 teaspoon thyme

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon turmeric

2 teaspoons soy sauce

1 teaspoon Dijon or honey mustard

3 tablespoons snipped fresh chives

4 chive blossoms -- for garnish

 

1. Drain the tofu and place it in the center of a clean kitchen towel. Draw the

corners of the towel together, then twist the towel around the tofu to squeeze

out as much liquid as possible.

 

2. In a large skillet, heat the oil until hot, but not smoking. Add the onions

and saute until they are coated with oil. Reduce heat and continue to cook,

stirring often, until they are translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and

mushrooms. Cook briefly, then stir in the lemon juice and continue to cook,

stirring often, until the mushrooms have softened, about 7 minutes.

 

3. Add the tofu to the skillet and toss. Increase the heat slightly and stir in

all of the remaining seasonings except the chives. Cook, stirring often, until

the tofu is heated through and the flavors have merged, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in

the chives, then taste and adjust the seasonings. Serve at once, garnished with

the chive blossoms.
