TOFU PARMIGIANA



Tofu Parmigiana image

Breaded tofu a la parmigiana. You'll just about swear this is eggplant or veal! One of my husband's favorites, and he doesn't even suspect! Serve with a simple crisp green salad, angel hair pasta and garlic bread.

ITALIAN TOFU MEATBALLS



Italian Tofu Meatballs image

They're the same as Italian meatballs but with tofu. I had to go through many recipes and cobble pieces together to get something that tasted normal. Olive oil helps them crisp up in the oven. I ate these with basic marinara and they were delicious.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (14 ounce) package extra-firm tofu
1 onion, chopped
1 egg
½ cup bread crumbs
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 ¼ teaspoons chopped fresh basil
1 ¼ teaspoons chopped fresh marjoram
1 ¼ teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
1 ¼ teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
1 ¼ teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon hot sauce
½ teaspoon minced garlic
¼ cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Place tofu onto a plate and place another plate on top. Set a 3- to 5-pound weight on top. Press tofu for 15 minutes to drain excess water. Break tofu into small pieces and squeeze again to remove as much water as possible.
  • Place tofu in a large bowl. Add onion, egg, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, Worcestershire sauce, basil, marjoram, rosemary, oregano, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, hot sauce, and garlic; mix well with your hands until thoroughly combined.
  • Drizzle some olive oil on the lined baking sheet. Form tablespoonfuls of tofu mixture into balls and arrange in rows on the baking sheet. Drizzle remaining olive oil over meatballs.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until browned and firm to the touch, 25 to 30 minutes.
