Marinated baked tofu

Ingredients

Quantity		Ingredient
2	pounds	Lowfat tofu; drained and pressed
½	ounce	Dried mushrooms
1	cup	Water
2	teaspoons	Dried oregano
2		Cloves garlic; pressed
2	tablespoons	Olive oil; fruity *
½	cup	Red wine vinegar; or sherry vinegar
½	cup	Red wine; **
½	cup	Soy sauce; tamari preferred
1	pinch	Ground cloves
½	teaspoon	Salt
		Few twists black pepper

Directions

* Original was for ½ cup olive oil; I used ¼ cup and felt that much wasn't necessary. Next time I will use 2 tbsp; and remember that most of that is not absorbed and is thrown away.

** I didn't have any red wine, so I used dry sherry instead.

Drain and press the tofu to remove excess water.

Simmer mushrooms in water for 15 minutes. Toast the oregano in a small frying pan over a medium flame until it becomes aromatic, without burning it. Combine the remaining ingredients, adding the oregano when it's ready.

Then combine with the simmering mushrooms. Bring to a boil and simmer a few minutes longer.

Cut the tofu into 4 slabs. Marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight (refrigerate). The tofu can marinate several days.

Cut the tofu into strips or cubes and bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes or so.

NOTES : Use in Mushroom Tofu Stroganoff (see recipe) or in stir fries or simply as baked tofu.
