Hope that helps!What are some good recipes for tofu?
Had one vegan daughter and one vegetarian daughter...everyone LOVES this recipe and I now make it at Thanksgiving all the time and have taken it to potlucks too with great success. Yes, tofu without seasoning or preparation takes pretty awful.





Easy prep since not much to do to the tofu, and most tofu recipes require pressing, etc.





Butternut Squash Tofu Bake


Peel and seed a large butternut squash (about 2lbs)


Cut into cubes about 1';


Cut a big square of tofu into cubes about 1';


1/2 c of olive oil mixed with about 3T soy sauce


Fresh or dried rosemary, 1-2 T, sprinkled over


A big head of garlic, several cloves, peeled and placed whole in pan





Toss all together. Place in large metal (preferred but ceramic will work) rectangular cake pan, cover with tin foil. Bake at 375 about 30 min until squash pretty tender, then remove foil and bake about another 15 min.





I'm doing this from memory but it's so easy, hard to mess up.

In a saucepan of salted boiling water cook quinoa 10 minutes. Drain tofu in sieve and rinse under cold water. Set sieve over a saucepan of boiling water (quinoa should not touch water) and steam tofu , covered with a kitchen towel and lid, until fluffy and dry, about 10 minutes (check water level in kettle occasionally, adding water if necessary). While tofu is cooking, in a small bowl toss beans with vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. Transfer quinoa to a large bowl and cool. Add beans, corn, bell pepper, jalapeno, and coriander and toss well. Make dressing: In a small bowl whisk together lime juice, salt, and cumin and add oil in a stream, whisking. Drizzle dressing over salad and toss well with salt and pepper to taste. Salad may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring salad to room temperature before serving.
