Spiced Crusted Tofu Cutlets Recipe
Ingredients
Makes 4 Cutlets
This Is Vegan.
- 1 pound very firm tofu, cut into 4 slices, each about ¾-inch thick
- za-atar spice mix
- 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried marjoram or oregano
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Method
- Put a medium-large pot of water to boil over high heat, and place a colander in the sink
- When the water boils, turn the heat to low and add the 4 slices of tofu
- Simmer for 10 minutes
- Then gently slip the tofu into the colander to drain, being careful not to break the slices
- Meanwhile, combine the spice mix ingredients in a small bowl
- Pour the mix into a pie pan and spread it out
- Turn on the stove fan and/or open the kitchen window (this process can create a fair amount of smoke)
- Place a large (10-to 12-inch) heavy skillet over medium heat and wait for about a minute
- While the pan is heating, carefully place one of the tofu slices in the spice mix, patting it down to coat one side; then sprinkle the mix on top and pat it on with your fingers to coat the surface evenly
- Transfer the slice to a plate and repeat with the other 3 slices
- Some of the coating may fall off; try to sprinkle as much of it as you can back onto the tofu, using up all of the mixture
- Gently transfer the tofu slices to the hot pan, and let them cook, undisturbed, for about 2 minutes, or until they are golden underneath
- Use a thin-bladed metal spatula to carefully loosen each cutlet and gently flip it over
- Cook on the second side for 2 minutes, or until the undersides are nicely browned
- Most of it will stick
- You can also push some of the fallen spice mix onto the sides of the tofu slices
- Transfer the cooked cutlets to serving plates, and serve right away
