Something I Like
I like tofu. I like it marinated in red wine, and grilled.
I like it grilled with pesto.
I like tofu.
- Mo: That looks and sounds delicious! I had to go ahead and add that cookbook to my wishlist!
- Varia: Don’t hold back!
- jeffrey: You won’t regret it. I’m holding back from making another batch today!
- Mihl: I have never seen that recipe in Madhur Jaffrey’s book. Thank you so much, I wanted to make doubles for...
- Kip: My parents live in the states so I’m going to urge my vegetarian mother to give these a try!
- Kip: That looks awesome! Samosas are fabulous (what deep fried thing isn’t, really?)
I’ve never had tofu marinated in wine, but it looks brilliant. I love the color and of course, those grill marks!!

If you try a red wine marinade, use a drier red like a cabernet sauvignon. From experience, something sweeter will overpower.

I love the colour, but does it really smell and taste alcohol or just a wine scent? thanks, and I love you’r blog. I’m an italian vegan xxx

Betty, thanks for the kind words! The wine marinade (1 glass red wine, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, a few cloves of crushed garlic and spice) mostly just gives it a wine flavor, but doesn’t taste of alcohol. Though it does depend on how strong the wine you use is! I tried this recipe with a Shiraz, and it didn’t work as well.

Thanks for the idea.
I love tofu but sauteed in olive oil with garlic and chili powders gets a little repetitive.
…and just so happens I have a bottle of cab sav waiting to be popped open!
