Tofu, Rice and Vegetable Casserole image

This is a good way to introduce tofu to the faint of heart. It's pretty much undetectable, but it's in there, being all nutritious and stuff. This is an original recipe.

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup long-grain rice, uncooked
2 tablespoons vegan margarine
1 medium onion, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder (to taste)
10 ounces frozen chopped spinach
1 lb frozen tofu
1 cup frozen corn
hot water
Braggs liquid aminos (optional)
tamari (optional)
salt (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, brown the rice, stirring constantly; pour it into a greased or pan-sprayed 1-1/2-quart or larger oven-safe casserole.
  • In the same saucepan, melt the margarine and add the onion and curry powder. Note that you might want to add a bit of tamari, Bragg's Liquid Aminos, or salt if you're using curry powder that does not contain salt.
  • Cook until the onion's almost transparent, about 5 minutes, and then add the spinach, tofu, and corn; cook until all are thawed, breaking up the tofu with a spoon.
  • When through, drain, pressing the liquid out of the vegetable/tofu mixture (or you can just squish it through your fingers, in which case, of course, cool it slightly beforehand).
  • Reserve this liquid and add enough hot water to it to make 2 cups. In a separate container, heat this liquid to boiling.
  • Stir the boiling liquid back into the vegetable/tofu mixture and bring it all to a boil.
  • Remove it from the heat and stir it into the rice that's in the casserole dish.
  • Cover and bake it at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork and serve.

This recipe was too time-consuming for me. I had to chop a lot of vegetables and it took forever.

I followed the recipe exactly and my casserole turned out dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This casserole was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.
