TOFU RISOTTO



Tofu Risotto image

This risotto is a real comfort food. Tofu has a quite bland taste, but I particularly love the texture of it. In this dish the tofu absorbs all the rich tastes of wine, parmesan cheese and garlic!

Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups extra firm tofu (in small dices, not the mori-nu tofu)
1 medium onion (minced)
2 cups mushrooms (sliced)
1/2 cup frozen peas
4 garlic cloves (minced)
1 cup arborio rice
4 1/2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon thyme

Steps:

  • Melt butter and oil in large frying pan, cook onions until translucent, add mushrooms saute until golden, add garlic saute for another minute, salt and pepper to taste,set aside.
  • In same frying pan, saute tofu until golden on all sides, you might want to add more olive oil and butter. The reason why you shouldent use the Mori-Nu Tofu is because even the extra firm one is too soft and will fall apart!
  • Add arborio rice to the tofu and start adding the chicken stock with the wine one cup at a time until all liquids are absorbed. Continue stirring and adding stock and wine until the rice is tender and add the frozen peas, add salt, pepper and thyme. This step should take approximately 20 minutes.
  • Finally stir in parmesan cheese (only fresh parmesan should be used for this recipe!) until it melts and risotto becomes creamy.
  • Serve piping hot -- enjoy!

ASPARAGUS, COURGETTE AND SMOKED TOFU RISOTTO RECIPE - (4/5)



Asparagus, Courgette and Smoked Tofu Risotto Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by á-178044

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 small onion
2 cloves of garlic
1 medium courgette
10 asparagus tips
100 g smoked tofu
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 oz risotto rice
1 1/2 pints vegetable stock
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Finely chop the onion and crush the garlic. I also sliced the courgette and tofu into small chunks. Over a low heat soften the onion and garlic. Add the rice and make sure it's thoroughly coated with the oil, onion and garlic. Turn up the heat to medium and add a ladleful of the vegetable stock. Stir until the stock has been absorbed by the rice then add another ladle of stock. Repeat this until all of the liquid has been absorbed. While the rice is cooking, grill the asparagus until softened then slice into centimetre chunks. Once the rice has cooked, add the vegetables and tofu and stir until mixed in and warmed.

Tips:

  • Use firm or extra-firm tofu. This will help the tofu hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
  • Press the tofu before cooking. This will remove excess water and help the tofu absorb more flavor.
  • Cut the tofu into small cubes. This will help it cook evenly.
  • Use a non-stick skillet. This will prevent the tofu from sticking.
  • Cook the tofu over medium heat. This will help it cook evenly without burning.
  • Stir the tofu frequently. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from sticking.
  • Add the risotto rice to the skillet once the tofu is cooked. This will allow the rice to absorb the flavor of the tofu.
  • Cook the risotto rice according to the package directions.
  • Add the vegetables and herbs towards the end of the cooking time. This will help them retain their color and flavor.
  • Serve the risotto immediately.

Conclusion:

Tofu risotto is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover tofu. With its creamy texture and flavorful ingredients, tofu risotto is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
