Tofu Nuggets image

This is from Jessica Seinfeld's Deceptively Delicious. She says the taste fools her kids into thinking they are eating fried cheese or chicken nuggets. I haven't tried this, but am posting recipes from the book upon request.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
1 tablespoon flax seed meal
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 cup pureed spinach or 1 cup pureed green peas
1 egg, lightly beaten
14 ounces extra firm tofu
1/2 teaspoon salt
nonstick cooking spray
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine the breadcrumbs, flaxseed meal, parmesean, and paprika in a small bowl.
  • Mix the vegetable puree and egg together in a flat bowl.
  • Slice or cube the tofu into bite sized pieces. You can use any shape you want, including cookie cutters. Sprinkle the tofu with the salt.
  • Dip the tofu into the egg mixture, then roll in the breadcrumbs until the tofu is completed coated and you can't see the puree.
  • Spray a large nonstick pan with cooking spray, heat the pan, then add the oil.
  • Cook the tofu over medium heat 3-4 minutes to a side, being careful not to overbrown. Cook until the coating is crisp and golden on all sides.
  • Note: the recipe for chicken nuggets is almost identical, but calls for using broccoli, spinach, sweet potato, or beet puree.
