Who would’ve thought… tofu on a pizza! Crumbled extra firm tofu takes on the texture of feta cheese, while adding a much needed protein boost to a standard vegetarian pizza. This pizza can be topped with any vegetables you like… add in your favourites, or be adventurous and try out some new combinations.
These vegetarian neatballs make a great alternative to meatballs served with spaghetti and tomato sauce. They are nice too in a pita sandwich stuffed with lettuce, tomato and your favourite tzaziki sauce. Organic fans can substitute Soyganic Extra Firm Tofu .
Lasagna is one of the easiest ways to incorporate tofu into your diet. Crumbled firm tofu nicely takes on the role of cottage cheese, and blends in perfectly – for most, it is difficult to tell that there is tofu in the lasagna at all. This simple recipe makes a quick and fuss free dinner, just add a tossed salad and some crusty bread.
Paninis make a great meal in a hurry. This version uses Italian ingredients such as pesto sauce, artichokes and olives, to pack a flavourful punch without much fuss. Throw in some cheese and tofu slices for protein, and you’ve got a complete and tasty meal ready to eat in less than 10 minutes.
