Yield Makes 12 croquettes

Number Of Ingredients 13

400g/14oz semi-firm tofu, rinsed and drained, grated
1 small bunch spring onions, white part only, finely chopped
2 carrots, finely grated
1 courgette, grated
50g/2oz flour
2-3 sprigs fresh thyme
100g/3½oz fine dry breadcrumbs
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
vegetable oil, for frying
100g/3½oz sugar
250g/9oz fresh or frozen cranberries
100ml/3½fl oz fresh orange juice
1 orange, finely grated zest only (optional)

Steps:

  • To make the tofu croquettes, use your hands to mix together all the croquette ingredients. The result should be a soft dough. Add the flour to make this hold together, and flavour to taste with thyme, salt and pepper.
  • Divide the dough into 12 patties, flatten them, and shallow-fry in batches for 5 minutes on each side, taking care when you turn them.
  • Arrange them side by side in a small oven-proof dish to be reheated in the oven when needed (although they will be less crisp, but no less delicious, if you do this). If you intend to freeze them, let them cool completely, then cover before doing so.
  • For the cranberry sauce, add all the ingredients together in a pan and cook gently for 10-15 minutes, until the cranberries soften and burst in their skins and the sauce thickens.
  • Serve the tofu croquettes with the cranberry sauce alongside.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

455 g firm tofu, rinsed and drained
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, grated
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 tablespoon roasted sesame seeds
2 tablespoons whole wheat breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon dried herbs
soya sauce, to taste
seasoning, to taste
vegetable oil, for frying
30 g vegan margarine
1 large onion, chopped
30 g whole wheat flour
140 ml water
140 ml orange juice
115 g fresh cranberries (or frozen equivalent)

Steps:

  • To make the tofu croquettes, use your hands to mix together the first seven ingredients. The result should be a soft dough. Add just enough breadcrumbs to make this hold together, and flavour to taste with herbs, soya sauce and seasoning.
  • Divide the dough into eight small balls, flatten them, and shallow-fry quickly for a few minutes on each side, taking care when you turn them. (For a firmer texture add some soya flour or egg substitute.).
  • Arrange them side by side in a small oven-proof dish to be reheated in the oven when needed. If you intend to freeze them, let them cool completely, then cover before doing so.
  • For the cranberry sauce, melt the margarine and fry the onion briefly, then cover the pan and cook gently for 10 minutes more.
  • Stir in the flour and cook for just a minute before adding the water and orange juice and bringing to the boil. Continue stirring and simmer gently until the sauce thickens. Add the cranberries and simmer gently for 15 minutes, or until the cranberries are tender.
  • If liked, you can season the sauce with salt and pepper, or add a little sugar instead. If necessary, add a drop more water or orange juice to make it pour more easily.
  • Serve the tofu croquettes with the cranberry sauce in a small jug.
