I wasn't a fan of tofu...
As I'm trying to eat less animal products, I've tried tofu several times and was a bit skeptical. But breaded like that and with the little sauce you see on the side, it's just too too too good!
When to eat eggplants
You have a 4-month window of opportunity to eat eggplants: from June to September inclusive.
If you make this breaded tofu, it would be so nice to leave me a comment and rate the recipe ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. You can also tag me on Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook or Tik Tok, or even send me a photo, I love seeing my little dishes in your homes!
📖 Recette
Breaded tofu
Ingredients
- 2 large eggplants
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Kosher salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon oregano dried
- 2 tablespoons thyme dried
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- ½ cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 cup plain tofu
- 1 tablespoon vegan butter
For the sauce
- 1 cup Greek yogurt plant-based
- 1 lemon
- ½ bunch cilantro
- ½ bunch parsley
- ½ bunch chives
- ½ bunch thyme
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 392°F/200°C. Cut the eggplants into thin slices, then square them with a knife and drizzle with olive oil, coarse salt, pepper and a tablespoon of thyme. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the breaded tofu: mix the water and cornstarch until the texture is sticky (not too heavy).
- In a separate bowl, pour the Panko and add salt, pepper, toasted sesame seeds, 1 tablespoon thyme and oregano.
- Cut your tofu in half, then dip each half in the cornflour-water mixture, followed by the seasoned Panko. In a frying pan over high heat, with a drizzle of olive oil and the margarine, brown the tofu on both sides.
- Prepare the sauce for the eggplant: mix the Greek vegetable yogurt with the lemon juice, thyme, cilantro, chives and parsley.
- Once the eggplants are cooked, remove from the oven, top with the sauce and add fresh herbs if you wish, as well as a few pomegranate seeds for decoration.
