Ingredients:
Serves 4
1/4 cup Earth Balance Buttery Spread 'Olive Oil'
1/4 cup Herb Infused Olive Oil or EVOO2-3 cloves minced garlic
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup diced onion
1 Tsp Thyme
1 Tsp Rosemary
1 Tbsp Dried Basil
1 Tbsp Drired Parsley
Sea Salt and Freshly Cracked Pepper to taste
1/4 cup Unsweetened Soy Milk or any other unsweetened/unflavored milk
2 Tbsp Whole Wheat Flour or White Flour
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Rice
Sliced and pressed firm Tofu
On low heat simmer combine Buttery Spread, Olive Oil, minced garlic, mushrooms, onion, thyme, rosemary, basil, parsley, and a pinch of salt & pepper. Let the vegetables to sweat out and get tender, about 10 minutes. Add milk let reduce and combine for about 5 minutes then add flour and mix together for 5 additional minutes.
During your wait time for the mushroom sauce you can start preparing your rice and your tofu. I seasoned my tofu with a bit of "McCormick Roasted Garlic & Herb" seasoning. It helps give it a little crunch and extra flavor.
Ashley made artichoke's to go along side this dish, I just drizzled them with olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt and ate.
Plate up and serve! I added some fresh slices of basil on top for garnish and freshness.
My yummy Tofu!
Benny's Chicken
- Chicken rather than tofu would be best here, you can also use the same seasoning, thats what we did for my brother!
- McCormick Roasted Garlic & Herb seasoning. I've talked about these seasonings before and they are a great way to quickly prepare tofu or chicken.
- Wheat flour or white flour? You can really use either, I am used to using white myself, however, my sister has apparently made sure we have only wheat flour in this house, so I tried and it worked!
- Herb Infused Olive Oil! Awwh this little baby is the best, and you have to go get it. Promise it will change your life, I drizzle just this on broccoli and other veggies and eat raw, mmMmmm :)
