The neutral flavor of tofu provides the perfect vehicle for the piquant flavors of a tapenade sauce.

In food processor, add parsley, lemon juice, capers, olives and tomatoes and process until finely chopped. With motor running, drizzle in 3 tablespoons oil until blended.

In large skillet, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat.

Add tofu in batches and cook, turning once, until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Spoon about 1½ teaspoons of tapenade sauce onto each tofu slice. (Store leftover tapenade in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.) Recipe adapted from 366 Healthful Ways to Cook Tofu by Robin Robertson (Plume/Penguin 1996).
