LEMONY BAKED TOFU

Yummy as a snack, sandwich filling, or topping for salads! It's got lots of flavor and holds it's shape well. A choice is given for two very different but equally inviting marinades. Be sure not to use an aluminum baking pan! Use the smallest baking pan you have that will hold the tofu in a single layer. An 8" square pan and a 7x9" pan both work fine. Adapted from Moosewood Restaurant New Classics cookbook.

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400*F.
  • Cut the tofu cake horizontally into four slices and set aside. Choose a marinade and whisk together all ingredients until smooth. Pour half in a small nonreactive baking pan. Place the tofu slices in the pan and pour on the remaining marinade.
  • Bake 45-60 minutes, turning the tofu once after about 30 minutes. The baked tofu should be browned, bubbling, and curling up at the edges.
  • Remove from the oven and with a metal spatula, move the tofu slices to a serving platter.
  • Serve hot, warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
  • The tofu will keep in an airtight contaiiner or plastic bag in the fridge for up to 5 days. Enjoy!

1 (16 ounce) package firm tofu
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons olive oil (or vegetable oil)
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon minced scallion
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce (or 1 fresh green chile, seeded, minced)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons olive oil (or vegetable oil)
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary (or 1 tsp. dried, crumbled)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

ROSEMARY-LEMON BAKED TOFU

Baking tofu is a wonderful way for it to soak up all the delicious flavor in your marinade. In this recipe, the tofu has a bright, lemony flavor. If you have the time, let the tofu sit for an hour or so in the marinade before baking. However, if you are short on time, this step is not necessary. For those new to tofu, the block of tofu should be pressed between two plates, to remove any excess moisture from its packaging. Use a cast iron pan or heavy book. Baked tofu tastes even better the next day!

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • Cut the tofu to to bottom into 6 slices.
  • Use a baking dish that wil hold your tofu slices in one single layer.
  • In the dish, wisk together the ingredients for the marinade.
  • Add tofu slices and turn to coat on both sides.
  • Bake for 45-60 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking time. The longer it baked, the chewier it will become.
  • Remove from oven and let cool about 10 minutes.
  • Store leftovers in a container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

16 ounces firm tofu, pressed for 30 minutes
1 teaspoon lemon zest, minced

  • Slice your block of tofu into 2 or 3 even slabs (depending on the shape of your tofu block, each slab should be about 3/4 to 1-inch thick). Lay some paper towels or a clean tea towel on a flat surface, and place the slabs side by side on top of the paper towels. Cover with another layer of paper towels. Then place a cutting board on top of the tofu, and stack a bunch of heavy cans or pots or whatever you can safely balance on the cutting board. The idea is to put a lot of pressure/weight on the tofu, which will help the excess water to press out into the paper towels. Let the tofu drain for at least 15-30 minutes. Meanwhile, heat your oven to 400°F.
  • Once the tofu has drained, remove the weights and paper towels. And use a knife to cut the tofu into your desired shapes. I typically just make little cubes (about 3/4-inch each), but you can cut any size of triangles, rectangles, or other shapes that you’d like.
  • Add your tofu to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, and toss until evenly coated. Sprinkle evenly with cornstarch, salt, garlic powder and black pepper. Gently toss until the tofu is evenly coated.
  • Turn the tofu out onto a parchment-covered baking sheet, and arrange it so that the tofu is in an even layer (not touching).
