In this new world of mine where tofu tastes good, I couldn’t wait to try something with a bit more of a sweet and spicy flavour. Normally in my carnivore only days, I’d use this sort of recipe with beef, but it worked brilliantly with tofu.
Preparation and cook time: 1 hour
Ingredients:
- 280g Block of firm tofu
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp garlic
- 1 tsp ginger
- 1 tbsp soya sauce
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 Sweet potatoes
- 1 bundle of asparagus
- 2 large mushrooms stuffed with cheese, spinach and sundried tomatoes
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius
- Chop the sweet potatoes into 4 quarters
- In a casserole dish add a layer of tin foil, put the sweet potatoes on the foil and drizzle with some olive oil and salt & pepper
- Wrap the sweet potatoes up in the tin foil and put them in the oven
While the sweet potatoes are going, get the other food ready:
- In a casserole dish spray with a layer of coconut oil or use olive oil
- Chop up the asparagus by cutting the ends off
- Stuff the mushroom with cheese, chopped sundried tomato and chopped spinach
- Add the stuffed mushrooms with the asparagus into the casserole dish
- Pop these veggies into the oven
Get the tofu going:
- Prepare the tofu by chopping it up and adding it to a baking tray layered with baking paper
- Pop that in the oven
Tofu marinade:
- In a bowl mix together the soya sauce, garlic, ginger and honey
- Put the bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds on high
Once the tofu is almost ready to come out the oven (it normally takes between 15 – 20 minutes to cook) drizzle the marinade over the tofu. Season with salt and pepper. Put the tofu back in the oven for another few minutes.
Dish everything up together.
