Finnish Cabbage and Tofu over Rice image

This is from "Sundays at Moosewood," with a few minor changes. The recipe as written calls for pressed tofu, but I like to freeze the tofu instead. When it's thawed and the moisture has been squeezed out, the texture changes to chewy and firm, rather than slippery and mushy. I always use the one-pound blocks stored in water, rather than the silken type.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

16 ounces tofu, pressed
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 1/2 tablespoons tamari soy sauce
2 1/2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon vegetarian worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cups shredded savoy cabbage (about 1/2 medium head)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon dried dill
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sweet Hungarian paprika
1/4 cup water
black pepper, to taste
cooked rice or mashed potatoes
1 dill pickle, minced
sour cream

Steps:

  • To prepare the tofu:.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F Combine the marinade ingredients in a 9-inch baking dish. Cut the tofu into cubes or triangles. Place the tofu in the baking dish with the marinade.
  • Bake, turning the tofu two or three times during the baking. Bake for 35-45 minutes.
  • To prepare the cabbage:.
  • While the tofu is baking, saute the onion in the oil in a large heavy skillet. When the onion is almost translucent, add the cabbage. Stirring occasionally, saute until the cabbage is somewhat reduced, about 5 minutes, but don't let the onion brown.
  • Combine the sauce ingredients and pour the over the cabbage, stirring to coat. Remove from the heat. Cover the skillet with a lid or foil, and bake in a 375 F oven for 30 minutes.
  • Serve the cabbage over rice or mashed potatoes (barley or egg noodles could be used instead). Top with minced pickle and baked tofu. Add a spoonful of sour cream, if desired.
