Recipe time!

I know I said this blog will have recipes but I still haven't posted one... until now.

Tonight I made Itlian Tofu Steaks. My recipe of course.

Ingredients:
-Lite Firm Tofu
-Red Onion
-Spinach Leaves
-Olive Oil
-Balsamic Vinegar
-Pepper, Oregano, Basil and Garlic
-Vegan Cream Cheese
-Vegan Bread

1. Drain tofu overnight.
2. Preheat oven to 400.
3. Cut tofu into three steaks.
4. Grease pan and place tofu steaks on pan. Layer all ingredients minus the bread and cream cheese. Bake for about 10 minutes or until desired golden brown.
5. Toast some bread then drizzle balsamic vinegar on one slice and spread vegan cream cheese on the other. Place cooked tofu steak on bread. There you have it.

Note: This method of cooking tofu uses olive oil so the outside is crispy and the inside is soft. (The consistency you get at most Thai restaurants.) If you are wanting your tofu dryer on the inside, make the steaks smaller and thinner and try freezing the tofu for a night after you drain it. (Slice. Then freeze in a plastic bag or plastic container. Don't stack the slices or they will stick together.) Defrost and follow method above. You can even eliminate the oil but the outside will not be as crunchy or golden brown.
