Tofu Chorizo Recipes

TOFU CHORIZO " SAUSAGE"

Steps:

• Press the tofu; slice the block of tofu into 1/2 inch slices, and lay them out on a clean dish towel. Cover with another clean towel, and place a large baking sheet on top. Weight the sheet down with a large can or two, and leave tofu to drain for an hour.
• Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Tear the chiles into large pieces, discarding the stems and most of the seeds.
• Toast the chile pieces in the hot skillet, pressing down on them occasionally They will blister and turn a lighter shade.
• When the chiles are toasted, place them in a food processor along with the garlic, oregano, paprika, cumin seeds, salt, pepper flakes, cloves, and cinnamon stick. Process until this is all finely ground.
• Add the vinegar, peanut butter and 1/4 cup of the vegetable stock and process until smooth. Add the rest of the vegetable stock. Transfer this mixture to a saucepan, and place over medium high heat.
• Crumble the drained tofu into the saucy mixture and turn the heat down to medium low. Cook over medium low heat until fairly dry and crumbly looking, at least 20 minutes. Stir frequently, this can stick.
• Use immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to a week.

EASY TOFU CHORIZO

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine the ingredients for the spice blend and set aside. It makes about ¼ cup, or 4 tablespoons. You may or may not decide to use all of it, depending on the desired level of spiciness and flavor.
• Preheat a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the oil. Once hot, add 3 to 3 1/2 tablespoons of the spice blend directly to the oil, and stir for about 30 seconds. Add the tomato paste, and stir to combine.
• Crumble the tofu into the pan. Stir and cook just until it begins to brown. Use a large spoon to break tofu into even smaller pieces while cooking. Add the almond flour, stir, and cook for about 1 minute to toast the almonds. Drizzle with apple cider vinegar, and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more of the spice blend if desired. Remove from heat.
• Use in your favorite dish or let cool, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

VEGAN TOFU CHORIZO

Steps:

• Chop the tofu and use a fork to crumble it into bite-sized pieces.
• Heat some water or oil in a skillet and cook the tofu over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes or until it starts to golden brown. Stir occasionally.
• Add the rest of the ingredients, stir and cook over medium-high heat for another 5 to 10 minutes or until tofu is ready. Feel free to omit the wine, but the cooking time may vary a little bit (tofu will be ready sooner). Chorizo will be tastier if you add the wine though.
• Serve immediately or keep leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for 4 to 5 days.
• Use this vegan chorizo tofu to make dishes like vegan chorizo and potato tacos, vegan chorizo queso dip, vegan spanish tofu scramble with potatoes and chorizo, simple vegan spanish rice with chorizo, vegan mexican style potatoes with chorizo or any recipe that calls for chorizo.
