Zesty Tofu And Roasted Vidalia Sandwich W Spicy Sunshine Spread Recipes

TOFU SANDWICH SPREAD

Steps:

• Drain the block of tofu, and freeze overnight. Thaw, and cut into quarters. Squeeze out any moisture by hand, then wrap in paper towels, and squeeze again. Crumble into a medium bowl.
• Add celery and green onion to the tofu. Stir in mayonnaise, soy sauce and lemon juice until well blended.

BAKED VIDALIA ONIONS

Steps:

• Quarter onions halfway through and open slightly. Place each on a 18x12-in. piece of heavy-duty foil. Place 2 teaspoons butter in center of each onion; sprinkle with salt, pepper and, if desired, garlic salt. Fold foil to seal tightly. Bake at 350° until onions are tender, 50-60 minutes. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.

TOFU SANDWICH SPREAD

Steps:

• Start by pressing the tofu - place the block on one dinner plate and put another plate on top, upside down. Add some heavy items to the top of the stack like a couple of cast iron frying pans. Allow to sit for at least 20 minutes, dumping water into sink a few times during the process.
• Meanwhile, prepare other ingredients as directed and mix all together. Remove the tofu from the plate and cut it into ½-inch cubes. Add to the mixture and gently stir until ingredients are just combined. Serve on toasted wheat bread or in a wheat pita with sprouts.

HERBED VIDALIA ONION TEA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a small bowl stir together the mayonnaise, 1/4 cup of the parsley, the tarragon, the lemon juice, the Tabasco, and salt and pepper to taste. Spread one side of the bread slices with the mayonnaise, arrange the onion slices evenly on half the bread slices, and top them with the remaining bread slices. Press the sandwiches together gently, trim the crusts, and cut the sandwiches into quarters. Put the remaining 1/4 cup parsley in a shallow bowl and dip the edges of the sandwich quarters in the parsley.

TWO TOFU SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Roast the tofu. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Whisk together the ingredients for the baked tofu. Line a small baking sheet with parchment. Pat the tofu dry with paper towels and dip into the marinade, making sure to coat both sides. Place on the baking sheet and bake 10 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to color and the marinade sets on the surface of the tofu. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Turn the heat up to 425 degrees.
• Brush the carrot slices with the olive oil and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place in the oven and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, turning the slices over halfway through. They should be lightly browned. Remove from the oven.
• Spread the tahini on the bottom slice of bread or focaccia. Top with the tofu. Sprinkle the cilantro over the tofu and top with a layer of carrots. Top the carrots with the kimchi, then place the other half of the focaccia or the other slice of bread on top and press down. Cut in half and enjoy.
