Vegeterian Tips: Most restaurants nowadays have vegetarian options available right on the menu. If not, ask your server if there is something that can be made for you. If you are at a more upscale restaurant, the chef will most likely be willing to whip up something for you, as it shows their talents and feeds their ego.
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 1 lb firm tofu
- 1 cup pitted [green] olives [optional]
- 3 large cloves garlic [or to taste]
- 1 cup plain tomato [NOT spagetti] sauce
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- oregano [see below]
- olive or canola oil for frying
Directions:
Cube the tofu and begin frying it over a medium burner
in a large [non-stick] pan. While the tofu is cooking, you
can mince the garlic and pit the olives if they have pits.
It is best if you can fry each side of the cubes of tofu
until they are golden brown but you may not have the
patience. Add oregano throughout the whole cooking process,
and don”t be stingy, LOTS of oregano is what makes the
recipe.
Continue rotating the cubes of tofu as to cook them
evenly. When they are fairly close to done, add the garlic
and olives. Before the garlic starts to burn, add the tomato
sauce and stir. If you want it to be thick don”t add too
much sauce – a cup should be about right though. You may
want to add the yeast gradualy as not to over do it.
Make sure everything is mixed well and hot and your
done! It”s exelent served as a burrito filling with fresh
lettuce, on vegan bread or by itself. Enjoy 🙂
