Ingredients:
1/2 block of extra firm tofu cut into six slices
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon of olive oil
1 teaspoon of soy sauce
1 teaspoon of dried basil
1 teaspoon of dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme
salt and pepper to taste
2 medium russet potatoes
2 garlic cloves minced
1 teaspoon of onion powder
1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast
1/8 cup of soymilk or veggie broth
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups of brussel sprout leaves
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
drizzle of olive oil
Lemon Herbed Baked Tofu
Mix together the lemon juice, vinegar, oil, soy sauce and spices together in a shallow baking dish. Marinate tofu for at least an hour or up to over night. Bake tofu for 30 minutes at 350 flipping once 15 minutes through. Add a bit of water to the baking pan and increase heat to 500 for an other 15 minutes. If you'd like a more pronounced lemon flavor, add the lemon juice during the last five minutes of baking.
Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Wash and dice potatoes (you can peel them if you like, but I prefer to keep the skins on for extra nutrition) and rapid boil them for about ten minutes. Drain potatoes, mash them and then add spices and a bit of soymilk or veggie broth as needed to get the proper consistency.
Lemony Sauteed Brussel Sprouts
Drizzle a bit of olive oil on a frying pan and saute on medium to high heat for five minutes or so. Season with salt and pepper and in the last minute of cooking add the lemon juice.
