RECIPES - April's Marinated Tofu & April's Apple Sage Curry

Yet again, no pictures...so I'm giving you TWO recipes to make up for it! My loss is your gain!

*turns off cheesy announcer voice*


April's Marinated Tofu

1/2 cup Braggs liquid aminos
1/2 cup orange juice

1 teaspoon agave nectar
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons roasted sesame oil
2 slightly rounded tablespoons smooth peanut butter
2 tablespoons coconut milk
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon rosemary
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ginger powder
1 teaspoon cumin

Start by pressing 1 block of regular tofu (not silken) until as much liquid as possible has come out of it.

After it has been pressed, slice it into cubes (or leave it in slabs, depending on how you want to use the tofu afterwards), and soak it in the marinade (all ingredients above, mixed well) for at least 2 hours (I usually try to plan ahead and soak it overnight).

When you are ready to cook, preheat oven to 400F.

Put the tofu on a lightly oiled baking sheet in a single layer and roast in the top part of the oven for 25-30 minutes.

Serve over rice (or pasta, or in a wrap, or serve slabs on a sandwich). Very versatile!
