I love this recipe. Now, honestly, I don't know if I love it because it tastes good or because after I ate it, I had the most awesome workout ever! It's got a ton of protein in a little package, and if you're like me and are trying to workout/train on a low-calorie vegan diet, this is pretty awesome.
This all started when I wanted to make breakfast tofu but wanted it to be sweet, not savory. It's not the best it could be, but it was a delicious first attempt. :-)
Baked Cinnamon Apples and Tofu, first trial (served on 1/26/10)
2 cups apple cider
1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon agave nectar, divided
2 teaspoons cinnamon, divided
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1 block of tofu, pressed, cubed
2 1/2 apples, cored, cubed
1 tablespoon lemon juice
In a shallow baking dish, mix together the apple cider, 1/4 cup of agave nectar, 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon, the allspice, the nutmeg, and the ginger. Add the cubed tofu and toss to coat. Stick it in the fridge and let it marinate overnight.
In the morning, transfer the tofu to a separate bowl and discard the marinade. Add the cubed apples to the dish and toss with lemon juice and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven 10 minutes. Add the tofu to the dish on top of the apples, up the oven temp to 400, and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until everything's cooked to your liking. Makes five servings. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of agave nectar on each serving before eating.
Time: overnight marinade + 25ish minutes in the oven
