Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

1 carton firm tofu -- drained

2 teaspoons olive oil

2 tablespoons vegetarian worcestershire sauce -- up to 3

salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 large red or yellow onion -- cut into 1/4-inch slices

4 large mushrooms -- sliced as thick as the onions

8 slices bread

mustard and horseradish

 

In about 15 minutes you can go from looking at a carton of tofu to sitting down

to a savory hot sandwich. What's inside it? Sauteed onions and mushrooms

covering golden tofu glazed with Worcestershire sauce or A - 1 sauce, if you

prefer

 

Slice the tofu crosswise into 8 pieces, slightly less than 1/2 inch thick. Set

them on paper towels and blot. Don't worry about the tofu getting really dry.

It will dry as it cooks.

 

Heat a large cast-iron skillet. Brush with 2 teaspoons of the oil and add the

tofu. Cook over medium-high heat until golden, about 6 minutes on each side.

Douse with the Worcestershire sauce and turn the tofu once. Continue frying

until the sauce is absorbed and the tofu is laced with a fine glaze. Turn off

the heat and season well with salt and plenty of pepper.

 

While the tofu is cooking, place a 10-inch skillet over high heat and add the

remaining oil. Add the onion and mushrooms. Saute until scared and nicely

browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

 

Toast the bread or nor, as you wish. Cover with mustard and horseradish (fresh

tomatoes and mayonnaise would be good here as well), add the tofu slices, top

with the on ions, close, press, and dig in.
