GLAZED TOFU MEATLOAF

My mom made this for our family when I was a kid using ground turkey. The tofu blends so nicely with the meat and the sauce. I like it juicy so I sometimes double the sauce.

Minimal preparation, awesome in sandwiches, It's another version of my comfort tofu loaf. I ground the tofu and onion using my meat grinder attachment on my standmixer... but thats because I don't have a food processor at the moment. Serve with mashed potatoes and gravy. Oh and green beans if you are not a vegan Paula Deen.

HOLIDAY TOFU LOAF



Holiday Tofu Loaf image

My friends tell me to make this every holiday as the vegan main course. It looks really pretty and tastes great. You can adjust the oil/ Juice ratio to suit your fancy, just be sure you baste it throughout the cooking process.

Categories     Soy/Tofu

Time 5h15m

Yield 1 loaf, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 lbs extra firm tofu
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons whole grain Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon miso (optional)
1 teaspoon thai chili paste (optional) or 1 teaspoon dried chili pepper flakes (optional)
3 teaspoons dried rosemary
3 teaspoons dried savory
3 teaspoons dried sage
1 teaspoon vegetable bouillon granules
3 tablespoons maple syrup or 3 tablespoons agave nectar
prepared stuffing, of your choice

Steps:

  • Drain off excess water from tofu. In a food processor or with a potato masher, crumble tofu avoiding any large lumps. Add the vegetable bullion along with 1 tsp each of the sage, rosemary and savory and 1 tbsp of the maple syrup, mix well.
  • Line a medium sized colander with cheese cloth, fill with tofu mixture. Cover the tofu mixture with a plate topped with a five lb weight (generally a few good sized tomato cans will do the trick). Leave tofu to press for at least three hours in the fridge.
  • In the mean time, prepare your stuffing.
  • Preheat Oven to 375 degrees.
  • Combine remaining ingredients (except for the stuffing) in a bowl, whisk together and set aside. After three hours remove the plate and weight from the tofu. Using a spoon, hollow out the tofu leaving a one inch shell. Fill shell with stuffing (Don't Overfill! The stuffing should only be inside the shell, not spilling over onto the sides) and cover with the extracted tofu. Pack the tofu layer down, then turn colander right-side up onto a deep baking sheet.
  • Cover tofu loaf with half of the sauce mixture, being sure to spread the mustard grains evenly over the surface. Bake until golden brown (about 1 hour 15 min), basting with remaining mixture after the first 45 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use extra firm tofu. This will help the loaf hold its shape and give it a more meaty texture.
  • Press the tofu well before using. This will help remove excess water and make the loaf less likely to crumble.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the loaf tough.
  • Bake the loaf in a loaf pan lined with parchment paper. This will help prevent the loaf from sticking to the pan.
  • Let the loaf cool completely before slicing. This will help the loaf hold its shape.

Conclusion:

This comfort tofu loaf is a delicious and satisfying vegan dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with protein and fiber, and it is also a good source of iron and calcium. The loaf is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. You can add different vegetables, herbs, and spices to create a unique flavor. Serve the loaf with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
