Baked Tofu With Mushroom Gravy image

Good comfort food for lacto-vegetarians or any tofu lovers. Tofu is baked to firm and crisp it and then it is smothered in a slightly tangy mushroom-onion gravy. This makes a generous amount of gravy so that it can go over potatoes roasted while the tofu cooks.

Time 50m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

15 ounces soft silken tofu
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 large white onions or 1/2 large yellow onion, sliced into rings
6 ounces white button mushrooms, sliced
4 teaspoons flour
1/2 cup low-fat milk
1/4 cup low-fat plain yogurt
salt
pepper
dried thyme
oil
nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Dry the tofu and cut it into 4 thick slices.
  • Coat the tofu thinly with oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and thyme to taste.
  • Lay the tofu slices on a baking sheet sprayed with nonstick spray and place in oven. Bake for 35 minutes, flipping pieces after 20 minutes.
  • While the tofu cooks, melt the butter in a medium skillet on medium-low heat. Saute the onions and mushrooms in the melted butter until softened, about 10 minutes. Do not brown the vegetables.
  • About 5 minutes before the tofu finishes, add the flour to the mushrooms and onions and continue to cook on medium-low for another minute or two.
  • Add the milk and yogurt to the sauteed mixture and bring to a simmer. You may need to raise the heat to medium.
  • Once the gravy simmers, remove from the heat and season to taste with salt, pepper, and thyme. Spoon over baked tofu.
  • Serve with a hot veggie like green beans or broccoli and with cubed potatoes roasted in the oven while the tofu baked.
