Tofu Scampi
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 block of firm tofu, drained and pressed
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 oz of cooked linguine or spaghetti
Instructions
- Slice the pressed tofu into 1/2 inch thick rectangles and pat dry with paper towels.
- Coat the tofu slices in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the tofu slices and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, white wine, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes to reduce the liquid slightly.
- Add the cooked tofu back into the skillet, coating it with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the tofu through.
- Stir in the chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the tofu scampi over cooked linguine or spaghetti, and enjoy!
