Ingredients:
- 1 cup basil leaves, rinsed
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 2 TB olive oil
- fresh ground black pepper
- Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes
- Sea Salt: 1/2-1 teaspoon, depending on how salty you like your food
- Onion powder
- juice from 1/2 lemon
- 1 cup water
Preheat oven to 400. Let’s review the tofu mantra- buy firm tofu, freeze it, thaw it, press it, slice it, season it, bake it.
Combine all of the ingredients except the water in a food processor. Puree until it is a smooth green paste. Mix it into one cup of water and then pour half of this into a Pyrex baking dish. Place your frozen, thawed, pressed, sliced tofu into the dish and cover with the rest of the mixture. Bake at 400 for 40 minutes or so until the liquid has been absorbed. I toasted some Ciabatta bread and made a sandwhich topped with roasted garlic tomato sauce.
Unlike most of my other tofu recipes, this was made with the intention for it to be accompanied by another strong flavor, like a flavorful sauce, so keep that in mind for a serving suggestion.
