Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 tablespoons butter or margarine

1 tablespoon dried minced chives

1 teaspoon ground savory

1 teaspoon ground sage

1 teaspoon dried marjoram

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1 tablespoon dried parsley

1 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper

2 tablespoons hot water

1 pound soft tofu -- rinsed, drained & cut into 1 " cubes

1/4 cup water -- (to 1/2 cup)

 

Fill the bottom half of a double boiler (not quite halfway) with boiling water

and place over medium heat (you don't want the top part of the double boiler to

be in direct contact with the water). Every so often, check the water level to

ensure that the pot does not boil dry. Keep another pot of water boiling on the

stove so you can add water if necessary.

 

Melt the butter or margarine in the top of the double boiler. Add the chives,

savory, sage, marjoram, thyme, parsley, basil, salt, cayenne, and white pepper,

and stir well. Add the hot water and stir well. Allow the herbs and spices to

cook until they are completely rehydrated, about 2-3 minutes.

 

In a blender or food processor equipped with a chopping blade, combine the tofu

and 1/4 cup of the water and puree until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Add

more water (up to 1/2 cup total) only if necessary to produce a smooth creamy

puree.

 

Slowly add the pureed tofu to the rehydrated herbs and spices while stirring

with a wire whisk. Simmer, stirring often, until the sauce is thoroughly warm,

5-7 minutes.

NOTES : This sauce looks, at first glance, like a fattening cream sauce, but the

surprise is that it is made with bean curd. Ladle it over some veggies and you

will have a high-protein, high-fiber, and low-fat meal. The Flamethrower

Veggies go well with the sauce.
