Tofu Stackup
Ingredients
  • 2
    ears fresh sweet corn
  • 2
    12 - 16 ounces firm or extra firm tofu, drained
  • 1/3
    cup yellow cornmeal
  • 2
    teaspoons chili powder
  • 1/2
    teaspoon salt
  • 3 - 4
    tablespoons olive oil
  • 1
    medium red sweet pepper, seeded and sliced
  • 2
    medium green tomatoes, sliced
  • Lime wedges
  • Fresh cilantro leaves (optional)
Directions

1. In a large saucepan, cook corn, covered, in boiling salted water for 7 minutes. Drain.

2. Meanwhile, slice each block of tofu horizontally into 4 slices. In a shallow dish combine cornmeal, chili powder, and salt; dip tofu into mixture to coat.

3. In a 12-inch skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Cook tofu in batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side until crisp and golden brown, adding more oil as needed. Remove tofu from skillet; add sweet pepper and green tomatoes and cook in remaining oil about 3 minutes until tomatoes are heated through and lightly browned and peppers are crisp tender.

4. Cut corn from cob. Place one slice tofu on each of four serving plates. Top with half of the corn, peppers and tomatoes. Top with remaining tofu slices, and remaining corn, peppers, and tomatoes. Serve with lime wedges and fresh cilantro leaves.

I really loved the idea of breading the tofu! I had no idea that you could even do that. The breading browned up nicely and added a great crunch to the dish. However, I didn't think the tofu had enough flavor. Maybe next time I will marinate the tofu first and then bread it.
