Tofu Scampi Recipes

TOFU SCAMPI

Tofu Scampi image

I initially made this vegetarian dish because I'm trying to eat healthier. I enjoyed it so much I've made it a part of my dinners I prepare regularly. Preparation time does not include pressing the tofu.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 lb firm tofu
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 cup cornstarch
5 garlic cloves, pressed
1 tablespoon fresh basil, minced (optional)
6 -8 mushrooms, sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 (10 ounce) bag fresh spinach
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Press tofu by placing it on a plate covered with 3 layers of paper towels. Cover the tofu with 3 more layers of paper towels and put a weight on top. (I use a large can from the cupboard.) Press it for 30-60 minutes, changing paper towels if needed. Then pat the tofu dry and slice into 1-inch cubes.
Place 2 tablespoons of the oil in a shallow dish. Place the cornstarch in a separate dish. Toss tofu in oil, covering all sides, then roll in cornstarch. Put tofu in one layer on a baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until crispy with a browned exterior. Be careful not to overcook the tofu or it will be tough.
Start the spinach about 10 minutes after tofu goes in the oven. Brown spinach lightly (2-3 minutes) in a little bit of olive oil, then cover and cook over low heat, adding 1 tablespoon water, for 3 minutes.
Saute the mushrooms in 2 tablespoons of oil for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and basil. Cook briefly on medium heat just until the garlic is golden brown. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice, and cover to keep warm. When tofu has finished cooking, serve it over the braised spinach.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook it according to the package directions. Drain the pasta into a colander and return it to pot. Toss with a few dashes of olive oil to prevent sticking.
While the pasta cooks, coat the bottom of a large skillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place it over medium heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook for about 10 minutes, flipping once or twice, until browned on multiple sides. Remove from the skillet and transfer to a plate.
Add 1 tablespoon of oil to skillet. Add the artichoke hearts to the skillet in a single layer and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and transfer to the plate with tofu.
