Texas Tofu
I've been sort of slacking about trying new recipes for a couple of weeks, but we're getting back into the swing of things this week. Here is one we did try last week, that was really tasty.
from the vegetarian times complete cookbook
4 1-inch slices sourdough bread
3 c. vegetarian baked beans
4 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 onion, diced
2 tsp cumin
2 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. onion powder
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 pound firm or extra firm tofu, cut into large cubes
4 Tbsp. soy "bacon" bits
8 oz shredded cheese (soy if you like), cheddar and Monterey Jack
1/2 c. cilantro leaves for garnish
Preheat oven to 450. Arrange the bread in a large baking dish, then set aside.
Put the beans in a saucepan, heat.
Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onion until golden. Remove and set aside.
Combine cumin, chili powder, onion powder and cornstarch in a large bowl. Place tofu in the bowl, dust each side with mixture. Add remaning oil to the skillet, and saute tofu until crispy, 3 to 5 min on each side. Remove from heat, place in bowl with the onions.
Spoon the beans over the bread, sprinkle bacon bits on top. Top with tofu and onions, and sprinkle each portion with cheese.
Bake for 5 minutes, until cheese melts. Garnish with cilantro before serving.
My notes: We didn't have any bacon bits or bread, so we did without. Was still really tasty.
