Oven Roasted Tofu Recipe (makes 4 servings)

Ingredients:


16 ounce extra firm tofu, drained
½ teaspoon oregano leaves, dried and crushed
½ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 sweet red pepper, quartered
2 teaspoons soybean oil
1 medium onion, quartered
2 tablespoons sugar
4 medium mushrooms, quartered
1 clove garlic, minced
Chopped parsley for garnish



Directions:


Cut tofu in half vertically then horizontally. Drain on several layers of paper towels to remove as much liquid as possible. Score surfaces to allow more marinade to penetrate the tofu. Combine the vinegar, oil, sugar, garlic, oregano and salt; mix well. Place tofu and vegetables in a shallow baking pan leaving enough space between the pieces for even roasting. Brush with the vinegar mixture. Let stand 30 minutes, brush again and let stand 30 minutes longer. Bake the tofu, pepper and onion at 500 degrees F for 30 to 35 minutes. Turn once halfway through baking time. Add mushrooms during last half of roasting time. Transfer to platter and sprinkle with parsley.
