Vegetable Casserole With Tofu Topping Recipes

Steps:

• Put a large baking sheet on the middle or lower oven rack and preheat to 500 ̊ F. Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise, then halve each piece lengthwise to make 4 long wedges.
• Slice the wedges crosswise and combine in a large bowl with the green beans, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a generous grinding of pepper; toss well. Spread on the hot baking sheet and roast, tossing once, until tender and browned in spots, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut the tofu into twelve 1 1/2- to 1 3/4-inch cubes. Press with paper towels to absorb some of the moisture; season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and crisp on all sides, about 15 minutes.
• Combine the parsley, chives, lemon zest and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a mini food processor; pulse until chopped (or finely chop by hand). Add the remaining 3 tablespoons
• olive oil and pulse to combine. Scrape into a bowl and stir in the lemon juice and 1 to 2 teaspoons water to make the sauce loose enough to drizzle. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the vegetables and tofu among plates. Drizzle with the herb sauce and top with the almonds and more chives.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion, celery, garlic, and tofu until onion is tender and translucent, 10 to 15 minutes. Season with oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir flour into vegetable mixture; toss to coat.
• Slowly stir milk into vegetable mixture until thickened; about 5 minutes. Stir in vegetable broth; cook and stir until filling is thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in frozen vegetables. Fit one pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan.
• Pour filling into prepared pie crust. Top with second pie crust; crimp edges together to seal. Poke holes into top crust for ventilation during baking.
• Bake pie in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Saute vegetable: Heat oil in deep 12 - 14 inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté onion, stirring occasionally until softened and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to moderate and add cabbage, kale, carrots, water, soy sauce and salt. Skillet will be full, but volume will reduce as veggies steam. Cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until veggies are just tender, 10-15 minutes. Transfer to 13 by 9 inch glass baking dish. Topping: Pulse all 1 cup bread crumbs with rest of topping ingredients together in food processor until combined well. If still very wet, add more crumbs as needed. Should be moist and sprinkle-able. Sprinkle over vegetables in baking dish and bake, uncovered, until topping is golden brown and vegetables are heated through, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375ºF.
• Cook vegetables in boiling water in medium saucepan 3 min.; drain well. Return vegetables to pan. Mix cream cheese spread, milk and garlic powder until blended. Add to vegetables; toss to coat. Spoon into 13x9-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray; top with cheddar.
• Prepare stuffing as directed on package; spoon over vegetable mixture.
• Bake 20 min. or until heated through. Let stand 5 min. before serving.
