Tofu Creamed Spinach Recipes

Steps:

• Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion and garlic; cook until soft and translucent, but not brown. Add spinach; cook, stirring frequently, until wilted.
• Place tofu, milk, cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a blender, and puree until smooth.
• Stir pureed tofu into spinach. Cook until warmed through. Adjust seasonings, if desired, and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the canola oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick skillet or wok, and add the tofu. Stir-fry until the tofu is lightly colored, three to five minutes, and add the garlic, ginger and chili flakes. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about one minute, and add soy sauce to taste. Add the spinach and stir-fry until the spinach wilts, about one minute. Stir in the sesame seeds, and add more soy sauce to taste. Remove from the heat.
• Using tongs, transfer the spinach and tofu mixture to a serving bowl, leaving the liquid behind in the pan or wok. Drizzle with the sesame oil, and add more soy sauce as desired. Serve with rice or other grains, or noodles. You may also use it as a filling for whole wheat pita bread.

Steps:

• Defrost spinach and squeeze out as much liquid as you can.
• Drain tofu of any excess liquid.
• Place tofu and oil in a large bowl. Use a hand mixer on high speed to combine them until creamy.
• Add pepper, vegetable bouillon powder, dried basil, garlic powder, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Blend on high speed for 1 minute.
• On low speed, mix in onion, spinach, and olives.
• Taste and adjust seasonings to your preference.
• Cover the bowl and place in the fridge. Let it sit for at least 8 hours for the flavours to meld, preferably overnight.
• Serve with crackers, bread, chips, or vegetables for dipping.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• In a bowl whisk together the soy sauce, vinegar, oil, honey, ginger, and garlic. Place the mushrooms in a bowl and add enough of the marinade to evenly coat them. Toss to combine.
• Arrange the tofu in a single layer in a small baking dish. Pour the remaining marinade over the tofu.
• Transfer the tofu to the oven and roast for 20 minutes. Spread the mushrooms out on one or two baking sheets and transfer to the oven. Continue roasting the tofu and the mushrooms until the tofu is nearly dry and well browned and the mushrooms are tender and golden, about 10 to 15 minutes.
• Arrange the spinach on serving plates. Drizzle with some of the remaining marinade from the tofu pan. Divide the tofu slices among the plates and top with some of the mushrooms. Serve.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425. Bring a large pot of water to boil, and salt it. When the water is boiling, add the spinach, and cook for about a minute. Plunge the spinach into a large bowl of ice water, squeeze the moisture from the leaves and roughly chop them.
• Put the butter and garam masala (or curry powder) and nutmeg in a large saucepan over medium heat. When the spices are fragrant, add the coconut milk, yogurt, spinach, tofu (or pork) and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach has absorbed much of the liquid; taste, and adjust the seasoning, and transfer to an ovenproof dish.
• Toss the potato slices with the oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Lay them over the top of the spinach and tofu (or pork) without overlapping too much. Bake until the potatoes are golden and crisp, 25 to 35 minutes. Scoop into bowls, and serve.
