Tomato & tofu dinner tonight (recipe)

August 18, 2004

All day I had a bizarrely strong craving for tomatoes and garlic. I enjoyed

the meal that came out of that, so thought I'd share.

I took 1 really big tomato (a couple plum tomatoes would work great) and cut

it into ~1 in. pieces, a block of tofu cut into about 3/4 in. pieces, and a

handful of sliced baby bella mushrooms. Drizzled olive oil over the tomato etc.,

while I chopped/sauteed several cloves of garlic, then added the tomato,

tofu, and mushrooms to the skillet. Seasoned with chopped basil and parsley and

salt and pepper. Very generous w/the olive oil. Zucchini would have been

great, and maybe some slivered/chopped nuts. My brother thought melted cheese

would have been a nice addition, but as is was yummy. I had it with rice, and

it

was more filling than I expected.

That sounds great! Zucchini, as you suggest, works

fine in something like that - it's good with noodles,

penne for example, as well as rice. Cheese? Maybe a

little goat cheese crumbled in at the end before the

last stir around? Tastes very different then, of

course, so although it looks about the same I think

it's a whole different dish ;=) Nuts you say? Pine

nuts? How about pistachios or or or or . . . .

You made me want lunch, and it's just 830 in the

morning ;=)

Best,

Pat ;=)
