Orange Tofu Marsala
- 2 (14 ounce) packages extra firm tofu (I used organic)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion (chopped into cubes)
- 1 garlic clove (use a big one, or two small ones)
- 16 ounces mushrooms (I used white button and cremini)
- 1 12 cups soup broth (I used low sodium veggie broth)
- 12 cup orange juice (fresh squeezed and the zest from the whole orange too.)
- 12 cup marsala wine
- 14 cup teriyaki sauce
- 2 tablespoons spelt flour (I used the white)
- 2 tablespoons vegan margarine (I used Earth Balance)
- 18 teaspoon oregano (I used all dry herbs in this recipe)
- 18 teaspoon parsley
- 18 teaspoon thyme
- 18 teaspoon basil
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- Press your tofu under a heavy weighted object for 20 minutes on one side and 15 on the other.
- Discard the water.
- Pressing the tofu will prevent it from being water logged and keep it together when its cooking.
- Put the soup broth, orange juice, orange zest, marsala wine and teryaki sauce in a measuring cup, mix it and taste it, if you like the taste, set aside.
- Dice your onion and crush the garlic.
- Saute this in a large saute pan until the onion is transparent and set aside.
- Be very careful not to burn the garlic, so don't cook this on high, medium is sufficient.
- When done, remove from pan and set aside.
- Slice up the mushrooms and sauted them in the same pan that you sauted the onion and garlic inches Add more oil if necessary.
- Cook them until they are just done.
- Remove from pan and set aside.
- Cut the tofu in half the long way, then in four pieces.
- You should end up with 8 equal sized pieces.
- Saute until these are light brown and then remove from pan and set aside.
- Melt the margarine in the saute pan and make a roux with the spelt flour.
- Stir constantly so it won't burn.
- Once the flour is all incorporated, add your soup broth mixture slowly to this stirring to incorporate.
- Put all your ingredients back into the saute pan with the broth/roux mixture and gently mix so that all the tofu and mushrooms are coated with the sauce.
- Add your herbs and season with salt and pepper.
- Taste again to make sure its to your liking.
- Simmer for 1/2 hour.
- Serve over rice or pasta.
- Bon Appetit!
