...Vegan Tofu Pomodoro...

...man...I was wishing I'd made this Wednesday...because it was really just a quick as the meatballs that I wound up making because I was in a hurry...and it was so delicious...and so pretty...

...it's a wonderful main dish for company or just when you want something a little special without a lot of fuss...
...start by cooking your tofu in a little bit of olive oil until nice and golden...
...remove and salt...
...and pepper to taste...
...then deglaze the pan with some vodka...
...cook until the alcohol evaporates...
...add some lemon juice...
...and vegan chicken stock...
...put the tofu back in the pan...
...add some fresh chopped tomatoes...I sure you can use canned if you don't have fresh...
...add some cashew cream...
...heat through...and you're ready to serve...

...seriously...like 15 minutes start to finish...
...it was so (SO) delicious!...
...and very pretty too...

  1. That looks very interesting, I do like fried tofu. I need to get to grips with nut milks and creams!
