Time 1h

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 1/2 ounces button mushrooms, washed and halved
1/2 ounce butter
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons cream
1 pinch fresh ground black pepper, and
1 pinch grated nutmeg
9 ounces firm tofu, drained
4 teaspoons garlic paste
olive oil

Steps:

  • To make the sauce, fry the mushrooms lightly in the butter in a small saucepan for 5-10 minutes or until tender. Add the cream and simmer over a gentle heat for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Season with salt, pepper and grated nutmeg and set aside.
  • Cut tofu in half then slice each half horizontally so that you get four thin slices from each-eight in all. Sandwich these pairs, using garlic paste as "glue" to make four fillets. Brush the tofu fillets all over with olive oil and cook them on a hot griddle, so they cook through and get marked with black grid lines, turning them to cook on both sides. Alternatively, you can shallow-fry them in olive oil until crisp and golden.
  • When the fillets are done, quickly reheat the sauce and serve with them.
