  • German Style Potato Salad


    4lbs. potatoes cut into 1 inch cubes
    1 lb. extra firm tofu cut into 1/2 inch cubes
    1/4 cup olive oil
    1 canned chipotle pepper minced
    sauce:
    1 cup soya mayonaise
    1 Tbs. musturd
    2 Tbs. red wine vinegar
    1 canned chipotle pepper minced
    2 Tbs raw cane sugar
    1/4 tsp. celery seed
    1-1/2 tsp. salt
    pepper to taste
    dredge:
    1 cup flour
    2 tsp. garlic powder
    2 tsp. Spike seasoning
    1 tsp. chili powder

    In a lerge pot, boil the potatoes until done but not mushy. While the potatoes are cooking, asemble the dredge and mix it with the tofu in a large bowl until the tofu is well covered with dredge. Heat the oil over medium heat. Pull out a handful of the tofu and shake off the loose flour (I do this by loosely cupping both hands around the pieces and gently shaking) and put into the hot oil. Repeat this a few times until all the tofu is in the hot oil. fry until quite crispy and brown and drain on a paper towel. Drain the potatoes when they are done. Combine potatoes and tofo in a large bowl. Assemble the sauce and pour over the potatoes and tofu. Mix gently and serve

    Fried Tofu and Green Bean Curry


    1 lb. of extra firm tofu cut into 1/2 inch cubes
    3 Tbs. olive oil
    1 cup onion diced
    a quarter size piece of ginger
    1-1/2 cup coconut milk
    1/2 lb. fresh green beans cooked until almost done
    3/4 tsp salt
    1 tsp curry powder





    In a non-stick skillet heat the oil over medium heat. Then put the tofu in the skillet and fry until it is golden brown. Remove the tofu from the oil with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel. In the same skillet and the same oil saute the onion and the serrano chili until the onion is translucent. Then put the ginger piece into the skillet and cook for another minute. Then add the coconut milk, fried tofu, salt, curry powder and green beans to the skillet and cook for 10 minutes. Remove the piece of ginger if you can find it and serve over rice or pasta.
