Tofu And Meat Loaf Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9 inch square baking dish.
• In a bowl, mix the tofu, turkey, bread crumbs, soup mix, green pepper, and eggs. Place the mixture into the prepared pan, and mold into a loaf shape.
• In a saucepan over low heat, blend the brown sugar, soy sauce, and mustard.
• Bake the meatloaf 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Drizzle with the sauce mixture, and continue baking 15 minutes, or to an internal temperature of 180 degrees F (80 degrees C).

Steps:

• Drain tofu and mash.
• Combine all ingredients and mix well.
• Place in a loaf pan coated with oil.
• Bake at 350F for one hour.
• Cool in pan for 15 minutes.
• Garnish with ketchup, BBQ sauce, and/or chopped parsley.
• When cold, can be sliced for sandwiches.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium saute pan. Add the onions, thyme, salt, and pepper and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not brown. Off the heat, add the Worcestershire sauce, chicken stock, and tomato paste. Allow to cool slightly.
• In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck, onion mixture, bread crumbs, and eggs, and mix lightly with a fork. Don't mash or the meat loaf will be dense. Shape the mixture into a rectangular loaf on a sheet pan covered with parchment paper. Spread the ketchup evenly on top. Bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, until the internal temperature is 160 degrees F and the meat loaf is cooked through. (A pan of hot water in the oven, under the meat loaf, will keep the top from cracking.) Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 8x4 inch loaf pan.
• Place the onion, celery, fresh tomato, garlic, carrots, and salt and pepper into a food processor. Process until the vegetables have been pureed. Add the egg, tofu, and Parmesan cheese; process. Finally, pour in the bread crumbs, and process until evenly incorporated and the mixture is firmer. Pack the mixture into the prepared loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, then top with the Cheddar cheese and canned crushed tomatoes. Continue baking until the cheese melts and the crushed tomatoes are hot, about 15 minutes more.

Steps:

• Combine tomato paste, water, wine, garlic, basil, oregano, and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and and reduce the heat to low. Simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes, then set aside.
• Wash and sort through the lentils, removing any sticks, pebbles, etc. and bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Lower the heat and cook the lentils, loosely covered, for about 20 minutes or until soft but not disintegrating. Drain any excess water.
• While the lentils are cooking, make the tofu "ground beef" by draining it very well and drying it off with paper towels, then (here comes the fun part), smash it into a bunch of pieces, so it has a ground beef or scrambled egg like consistency.
• Mix the tofu pieces in a bowl with the pepper (I just shake some on, roughly 1/2 tsp), olive oil, and soy sauce. Brown in a frying pan/skillet for a couple minutes until it somewhat resembles ground beef and let cool for a few minutes.
• Combine the cooked lentils, crumbled and cooked tofu, breadcrumbs, zucchini, egg whites, and about 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce in a large bowl and mix well.
• Shape the mixture into a loaf and place into an ungreased 9 x 5 loaf pan. Bake at 350F for 45 minutes.
• Pour the remaining tomato sauce mix over the top of the loaf, and bake for another 15 minutes.
• Place onto a serving plate and let cool for about 10 minutes before cutting into 8 slices and serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Mix all ingredients together.
• Put 1/4 cup oil in a loaf pan, then press the mixture into the pan.
• Bake for about 1 hour.
• Let cool 10-15 minutes before trying to remove from pan.
• Garnish with ketchup and parsley. Also good sliced and fried for sandwiches the next day.

Steps:

• First, preheat oven to 350°F.
• Put all the ingredients in a food processor, except for the carrot and celery. Blend until smooth.
• Add the carrot and celery, and blend in the tofu mixture.
• Put in a loaf pan and bake for one hour.
• You can also put ketchup on top of the loaf.
