{hi} there Everyone

This thread is specifically devoted to recipe's containing TOFU ~ please feel welcome to share all your TOFU IDEAS with us:


VEGETARIAN DISH WITH TOFU :clover:

Tofu (from allowance)
Vegetables (from allowance) Mushrooms, onion, zucchini, green peppers etc or any vegetables that you choose.

MARINADE {pot}
Vinegar
Water
Spices/ herbs
Salt & pepper

Method:
Break Tofu into little pieces. Make marinade, and then soak the Tofu for 8 hours. When marinated, put Tofu and marinade into a pot and cook, if you would like to include your vegetables you can, or you can cook them separately.

ENJOY! :)

TOFU SOUP: {pot}

(Tastes Similar To Butternut soup)

Tofu (allowance)
Gem squash from allowance (cooked)
Grated rind of ½ orange
Juice from ½ orange & sweetener
Nutmeg, cinnamon, salt & chopped parsley
Water

Method: :thinking:

Cut Tofu into blocks (it does not have to be cooked). Mix orange rind, juice, squash and spices, add tofu and liquidize. Add water to make the desired consistency. Heat before eating; add a sprinkle of chopped parsley. :clover:

The soup has a distinctive sweet orange taste and is creamy from the tofu. {pot}

WARM TOFU SALAD: :flirt:

Tofu allowance
Iceberg lettuce (approx 60% of allowance) :clover:
Green pepper (approx 40%of allowance)
Balsamic Vinegar

Method: :)
Cut tofu up into 3cm squares and put in non stick pan. Coat generously in balsamic vinegar and cover all sides of the tofu. Add approx 1/4 cup of water and place pan on a high heat. Stir to avoid sticking and cook until all liquid has been absorbed. Chop lettuce and green pepper and place on a dinner plate. Arrange the cooked tofu on top. The vinegar gives the tofu a nice flavour that compliments the crispness of the vegetables! :dance:

HEY, THERE, VEGETARIANS AND FRIENZ WHO RAN OUT OF MEAT-ALLOWANCES 4 THE DAY! :peace:

I JUST "STOLE" A MEAT-RECIPE FROM SHASHA IN THE SECTION "SOMETHING MEATY" AS I HAD THIS ONE 2DAY WITH CRUMBLED TOFU INSTEAD OF THE MEAT AND IT WAS JUST AS YUMMY!! :hungry:

"YUMMY SPINACH RISSOLES

Meat – minced (allowance) ...IZ TOFU THEN
1 garlic clove crushed
Onion (allowance)
Spinach – using defrosted finely chopped spinach for balance of vegetable allowance.
Curry powder
Dash of chilli powder
Salt and pepper
Dried mixed herbs (optional)

Method:
Mix all ingredients in a bowl, and make up around 8 small rissoles (they cook faster and stay together). When cooked serve with crackers allowance. For a special something dip into mayonnaise allowance.
Tip: This recipe even works with chicken mince."

WELL- THIS RECIPE EVEN WORX WITH TOFU-MINCE!!!! BRAVO!!:clapping:

[Shasha]

{hi} there Cyberella

:clapping: Well done!!!

That is exactly what you and everyone else is meant to do... use recipe's as guidelines and change it to suite your personal taste... as well as what you have in the cupboard.

More and more recipe's will come if everyone begins to walk in this freedom! {goodjob}

[queenmom]

Is TOFU allowed?

[Shasha]

{hi} there QueenMom

:thinking: YES, TOFU is allowed on the 1st Personal Diet Program.

If you do not have a specific TOFU option on your eating plan, please write to your consultant and ask her to please ask Dr Cohen for a TOFU option for you.

Under SOOOUPS there is a very nice TOFU soup recipe that I think you will enjoy...

Shasha, are we allowed Chilli Powder?????

[Shasha]

{hi} there :surf:Girl

You may have green chilies, in moderation to flavor your food, about 3 times a week, providing they don’t trigger your hunger.

:cop: You should not use any red chilies, red chili products, cayenne pepper etc. I think they normally make the power from red chili’s – but I’m not sure if this is always the case. I recommend that you read the label on the bottle or box – if red chilies were used, the answer would be NO, please do not use the powder, rather crush your own green chilies...
