Tofu Loaf
Ingredients
- 1 medium onion, quartered
- 1-2 cloves garlic
- 1/3 cup tamari soya sauce
- 1 tablespoon prepared Dijon mustard
- 1/3 cup tomato ketchup
- ground black pepper
- 1-1/2 pounds firm or extra-firm tofu, cut or broken into pieces
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 cup bread crumbs, rolled oats, bread stuffing, or crushed corn flake crumbs
Instructions
6-8 servings. Preheat oven to 350 deg. F. Lightly oil a loaf pan. Place onion, garlic, and soya sauce into food processor bowl, and process until the garlic is finely minced. Add the mustard and ketchup, black pepper, and the tofu a few pieces at a time, and process until smooth. Pour the mixture into a large mixing bowl, and stir in the parsley and crumbs until smooth. Press the mixture into the loaf pan, even out the top with a wooden spoon, and bake for about one hour or until golden brown. Let the pan cool for about 15 minutes, then either turn the loaf out onto a serving plate, or cut slices from the pan. If it lasts :-), this loaf is especially good the next day, either cold in sandwiches or reheated. Variations on a loaf: Substitute prepared barbecue sauce or salsa for the ketchup Add your favourite herbs to the mixture like sage and thyme.
