ITALIAN TOFU MEATBALLS

They're the same as Italian meatballs but with tofu. I had to go through many recipes and cobble pieces together to get something that tasted normal. Olive oil helps them crisp up in the oven. I ate these with basic marinara and they were delicious.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Place tofu onto a plate and place another plate on top. Set a 3- to 5-pound weight on top. Press tofu for 15 minutes to drain excess water. Break tofu into small pieces and squeeze again to remove as much water as possible.
  • Place tofu in a large bowl. Add onion, egg, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, Worcestershire sauce, basil, marjoram, rosemary, oregano, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, hot sauce, and garlic; mix well with your hands until thoroughly combined.
  • Drizzle some olive oil on the lined baking sheet. Form tablespoonfuls of tofu mixture into balls and arrange in rows on the baking sheet. Drizzle remaining olive oil over meatballs.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until browned and firm to the touch, 25 to 30 minutes.

ITALIAN MARINATED TOFU

A simple marinated tofu recipe, great for a make-before simple lunch or even breakfast if you marinate the tofu before (I've only made this once, but I imagine if you marinate overnight it'll be a much stronger flavor). This comes from Isa Moskowitz' Vegan With A Vengeance book, slightly modified. Prep time is for the marinade, cook time for the actual cooking.

Steps:

  • Combine the Wine, Oil, Vinegar, Bragg's or Tamari, Garlic, Basil, Dill, And Oregano in a shallow bowl. Whisk lightly to combine, and place tofu squares into marinade. Swish to cover, then cover the bowl and leave alone for 30 minutes.
  • Flip. Leave alone for another 30 minutes.
  • Heat a medium skillet over high heat, pour a small amount of olive oil in and swirl til the skillet is covered.
  • Pour the marinade into the skillet, let it begin to heat. Place tofu squares (which now should be lightly gold-brown instead of the milky white it began as) into the skillet, and use a spatula to squish and cut the tofu into smaller peices.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes or until the marinade is basically gone.
  • If desired, cook until tofu is drier and darker. Or closer to burned, whichever. I stopped mine when it was golden and there was still a bit of liquids left.
  • Spoon out onto a plate and eat as is, or place a little in a lettuce leaf and wrap and eat, or eat on bread.
  • If desired, top with pepper, soy cheese shreds, broccoli sprouts, more dried spices, pasta sauce, mix with rice or vegetables, or basically anything.
  • Since this is an 'Italian' style marinade, consider matching it up with like foods.
  • However you take it, enjoy!
  • You can try doubling the recipe, if you do, please post how it went!

ITALIAN TOFU

I came up with this while trying to figure out what kind of flavors would go best with an alfredo sauce. I originally made this to feed about 30 people, so I apologize if the measurements or times are off. I think it's the kind of recipe that really works if you add things to taste (I love basil, so my version include lots of it!) It would also probably be great with fresh herbs.

  • In a bowl or measuring pitcher, combine the tamari, oil, maple syrup, lemon zest and juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and oregano. Whisk well to combine as much as possible – the oil will want to separate out.
  • Press the tofu strips gently with paper towels to remove excess water, then place in a shallow baking pan in a single layer and pour the marinade over the tofu. Let sit at least 30 minutes and preferably 1-2 hours (or cover and chill for up to 2 days).
  • When ready to cook, wipe the garlic off of the tofu (otherwise it will burn) and reserve the marinade. The tofu tends to stick to grills, so I have the best success searing it in a ceramic non-stick pan over medium-high heat until golden, then transferring it to the hot grill to add caramelization. You can also simply sear it the skillet until deep golden on both sides, 1-2 minutes per side.
  • Alternatively, make sure your grill or stovetop grill pan is very clean, and oil it well. If using a grill pan, heat the pan over medium-high heat until very hot. If using a grill, set it to medium heat. Place the tofu slices on the grill at an angle and cook until it holds deep grill marks, 1-2 minutes per side.
