The perfect side-dish for a cold winter night! This goes very well with rotis, or as a sandwich filling (sort of a drier version of baked beans!) Prep. time does not include pre-soaking time for the beans. -- posted by Anu

Bizarre but Tasty Tofu Tomato Sandwich (And Good for You Too!)

Tue, 16 Apr 2002 11:59:08 -0400

I "cooked" this up when I wanted a fuss-free dinner and all I had at hand were tomatoes, really soft bread, tofu, and hummus! Don't let the combination of ingredients put you off; this tastes yum! You can also have this for a healthy snack, or even for breakfast. -- posted by Anu

Grilled Tofu with Chimichurri

Fri, 20 Sep 2002 23:57:34 -0400

Chimichurri is a potent, hot and garlicky South American sauce that is usually served with grilled meats. Try it here with grilled tofu for a fiesty vegetarian dish that is sure to please. Make extra sauce and store it in the fridge for up to a month in an airtight container. It is great marinade for chicken, pairs nicely with any grilled meat and works well as a topping for baked fish. -- posted by rsarahl

Baked Curry Tofu

Sat, 21 Sep 2002 00:36:45 -0400

Tofu is a wonderful food that picks up flavors very well. In this case, the curry sauce is strong and bakes into the tofu which yields not only great flavor but also a nice chewy texture. Serve with sauteed spinach and basmati rice for a balanced meal. Leftovers can be used as sandwich filling with a little chutney. -- posted by rsarahl

Tofu Maki (Vegetarian Sushi)

Tue, 24 Sep 2002 22:54:21 -0400

Vegetarian sushi. It's heart healthy, fun to make and tasty too! For a little extra flavor, use marinated baked tofu instead of plain. Either way, have a little soy sauce on hand for dipping... or indulge with tasty plum sauce or hoisin sauce... it's up to you! -- posted by rsarahl

This recipe was given to me by an almost vegetarian friend. You can easily add shredded chicken, beef, fish or cooked scrambled egg.

Vegan Burgers With Alfalfa Sprouts

This is a vegan alternative to http://www.recipezaar.com/browse/getrecipe.zsp?id=26806&path= . I have a hard time finding veggie burgers that I actually like, so I often make my own. You can put half the nutritional yeast right into the patties and sprinkle the rest on top afterwards, or just save it all for the end. -- posted by Vegan Courtney

Curried Crab Asparagus Cheesy Tofu Dip

Thu, 12 Jun 2003 20:01:38 -0400

You just can't stop eating this! Think of it as crab-artichoke dip, but with asparagus in place. The asparagus adds texture and color where artichokes get mushy and lost in the dip. I could eat the entire recipe as a meal. It may not make much, but it's worth it! Leftovers can be reheated the same way. RSC4 -- posted by nomnom

This is the result of "Feeling Inventive and Lazy" and turned out to be so good it startled both of us. Self-created, I admit it's a bit unorthadox-sounding, but it's well worth it! Husband reccomended it being served with a slice of buttered cornbread and green beans. I agree! -- posted by Etak the Thivis

Tutti-Fruity Tofu Smoothie

Fri, 02 Apr 2004 20:00:15 -0500

If you would like to add some soy protein to your diet, this is a great smoothie--a really good way to get two serving of protein at one time. I am not vegetarian, just trying to eat healthy, so I use powdered milk and water, but you could substitute soy milk. I used firm tofu and it still turned out very smooth. It's a very versatile snack or meal-on-the-go. -- posted by Vicx Waters

Fresh Edamame Vegetable Salad

Mon, 24 Jan 2005 20:00:20 -0500

This recipe is from my mother's newspaper clipping recipe collection, so I'm not quite sure when or where it actually came from... I suspect it's from the 70s. I've tweaked it here and there - it originally called for dry soybeans soaked overnight, but I love edamame and they're much more widely available now than they used to be. Prep time includes chilling. -- posted by Julesong

Tlt (Tofu, Lettuce & Tomato Sandwich)

Mon, 08 Aug 2005 22:39:50 -0400

A smoky, mustard-chipotle sauce gives this baked tofu enough character to please even the most avid bacon fan. Make it a meal: add some oven fries and a tall glass of minty iced tea. To make ahead, prepare through step 4. Wrap the baked tofu in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Note: canned chipotle peppers (smoked jalapeños) add heat and smokiness to dishes: the adobo sauce alone adds a spicy zest without extra heat. Look for small cans in the Mexican food section in large supermarkets. Once opened they will keep for up to 2 weeks in refrigerator or 6 months in the freezer. (I always freeze what I don't use in a recipe.) -- posted by Barb Gertz

This dish makes and excellent Appetizer, Snack or Main Dish. It's also a great introduction into the vegan world, if you want to convert kids or meat-eaters to a healthier lifestyle. They taste great with sauces & dips or by themselves. You need to make a lot though. When I make them, they only last for a few minutes. You might want to double or triple this batch. -- posted by Chelle (Vegan4Life)

Sounds so yummy! This recipe is from Neva & Jim Brackett's 7 Secrets Cookbook to lose weight, lower cholesterol, and reverse diabetes. Update: I tried this today and was really pleased with the results! I used it with recipe #161324 by Tigerduck and I couldn't tell it wasn't real sour cream. Of course you can tell its not the real thing when eating it plain, but it's still nice. Best alternative when mixing it with other ingredients you would use sour cream with though. I'm sure I'll get the same terrific results when I use it in a black bean soup I plan to make tomorrow. -- posted by Enjolinfam

Roasted Tofu, Asparagus and Radishes - Ww

Thu, 24 Jan 2008 20:54:25 -0500

This came from "Simply Delicious - Flexpoints Cookbook" from Weight Watchers. Out of all the recipes in there, this is the one that I want to try the most. At time of posting, I have not tried this. But I plan on doing so soon. I can't find tofu here in town so it will have to wait until I can get into the city to get some. The book says this is 2 points per serving. The numbers as presented here come up as closer to 3 points (2.9) but that is because it isn't counting on reduced fat tofu. Plus it isn't counting the balsamic vinegar. -- posted by Saturn

Tofu "chicken" a La King (Low Fat)

A vegan version of the classic Chicken A La King, this recipe uses tofu as the main ingredient. Delicious as a main meal and is liked by both vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. I've served this to my very "Meat and Potatoes" type parents and they both love it. My neice, who is normally a very picky eater, will gobble this up as well so it's good for kids too. :) Serve with a side of veggies or a nice salad and you have a delicious and healthful complete meal. ***note*** Feel free to adjust the amount of mushrooms and peas to your liking. Carrots go nicely in this dish is well, but it's optional so I left it out of the recipe. -- posted by grumblebee

Real Vegan Yoghurt Cheese

Mon, 02 Mar 2009 18:06:28 -0500

Unlike most types of vegan cheese this is real cheese. At least it's made just like the same kind of dairy cheese would be made. It is quite low in fat and has a texture like low-fat cream cheese. The taste is also similar though not very tangy so you might like to add some lemon juice to the cheese. Make sure you use real soya yoghurt made from live cultures as it might not otherwise work. If you would like a savoury cheese, it's usually all right to use sweetened yoghurt and add salt afterwards, but don't use a flavoured variety (like vanilla). Of course you can also make sweet versions of the cheese to use in frostings and desserts or just as a sweet spread. I've heard that real oat yoghurt is also available and I'm sure this recipe would work with that as well. -- posted by Goldcrest
