Tofu Italiano
Serves 3 to 4
Baking tofu produces
a firm texture that appeals to many people. In this case
it is infused with Italian seasonings.
1 pound firm tofu, cut
in 4 slices and then cut into triangles
1 medium onion, sliced into rings or 1 leek chopped
1 tablespoon tamari
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Italian or Tuscan seasoning
2 cloves garlic, minced
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
1 ½ cups canned diced tomatoes or ¾ pound fresh,
finely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon fresh oregano
¼ cup finely minced fresh Italian parsley
Salt and pepper, to taste
Preheat the oven to
400 degrees F.
Drain the tofu well.
Press between 2 cutting boards if it is not firm. Combine
the 2 tamari, vinegar, garlic and Italian seasoning. Put
the tofu and onion or leek into a glass baking dish. Pour
the tamari mixture over the tofu and onion or leek and
let marinate. Bake for 10 minutes and then turn the tofu
triangles. Bake another 10 to 15 minutes until the tofu
is firm and brown.
Add the garlic, fresh
herbs (if using) and tomatoes and bake another 10 minutes
until the tomatoes are hot. Taste and adjust the seasonings.
Stir in the parsley and serve hot as a main dish or over
pasta.
