How to Meatless...

Hello Foodies,

Today I bring you an 'no fail' meat alternative recipe. My mother has been doing this for over thirty years. Here's what you will need:

For meatless ground meat:

1 package Organic GMO Free Firm Tofu, drain and squeeze out all excess liquid. Break up the tofu with a fork, mash to the consistency you require.Marinate with your favourite spices for an hour or longer. Avoid adding liquid marinate if you want this in a dry dish like taco meat.

For meatless sliced meat:

This recipe requires a couple days of preparation. Again you will need 1 package Organic GMO Free Firm Tofu. This time you will leave it in the original package unopened and place in your freezer for at least three days.

Defrost. Drain. Squeeze out all excess liquid. Place the block(s) of tofu on a plate lined with paper towels. Let sit for about 20 minutes to soak up any remaining moisture.

Slice into 1/8" shreds or slices. Panfry until slightly crispy & golden on both sides. I use coconut oil or olive oil for this. Remove from pan and lay out the pieces over a plate lined with paper towels. This will drain the oils. Let cool.

Voila, you can now add these shreds or slices to any stirfry, curry or sandwich of your choice. For use as sandwich meat you can sprinkle it with salt and pepper and some herbs when they are still hot.

I really hope you enjoy these homemade meatless meat recipes I'm sharing. From my mommy's kitchen to yours.

Happy Meatless Days :)
