I decided that this year I wasn’t going to eat any of the prepacked vegan substitutes that were laced with wheat protein, which is when I realised that I was going to have to make friends with the dreaded tofu.
Tofu and I never got along. I hated the stuff, but I was determined to make this relationship work, so I’ve been experimenting.
Vegans; you’ll love this.
Quorn lovers; stop. Try this instead
Ingredients:
1 pack of Dragonfly organic original tofu
3 tbsp soy sauce (Tamari if you want to keep it gluten free)
2 tsp garlic granules/2 mashed cloves
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
How to:
1) Chop up tofu into small cubes and place into a bowl
2) Add the rest of the ingredients and make sure all the tofu is coated
3) Place in oven for around half an hour
That is literally it.
They’re crispy enough to eat instead of potato crisps. High protein, low fat, low sugar, amazing. I literally eat these as a snack. You can add them to salads, stirfrys, fajitas, whatever.
I’ll be experimenting with a tomato marinade.
Watch this space.
