We just had them as nibbles. I stuck some rosemary sprigs in some of them. Now that is stylish food, even if I don't say so myself.Roasted Rosemary Tofu bites

I've never been desperately keen on tofu, but I think I'd enjoy these.
ReplyDeleteLovely. :-)
ReplyDeleteThey look delicious, and have prompted me to try them very soon, after a spin to the grocery store.
ReplyDeleteI have never been very keen on tofu, so I have avoided cooking with it, but I had my first chinese takeaway for years. I ordered sweet and sour vegetables and tofu and it was lovely! So now my ears perk up when I hear tofu and I am thinking I may have to try cooking with it. What do you think would be a good recipe for a tofu virgin?
ReplyDeleteSounds yummy, I love the crispy tofu texture, yum.
ReplyDeleteThis looks divine! I hope your nephews enjoyed it. I seem to remember reading where you mentioned having a librarian's practised eye...was that you or have I gotten blogs mixed up?
ReplyDeleteThis looks definitely delicious and healthy!
ReplyDeleteSounds like your nephews must be having the best holiday ever. Peace, Stephanie
ReplyDeleteVery stylish.
ReplyDeleteThese little tofu nibbles are mouth-watering, Mango. I wish I had some now to nibble on.
ReplyDeleteOooh, my, these are so posh, indeed! Rosemary is my very favorite herb, too, so I am especially excited about this gorgeous recipe... :-)
ReplyDeleteChoclette. I think you would like these and so would your CT :D
ReplyDeleteThank you Alessandra.
Purple Flowers. I do hope you like them, the rosemary def. enhances the tofu bites.

It was a long while befroe I came to not mind eating tofu, but it does have to be heavily flavoured.
I am glad you have found a tofu dish that you actually enjoyed. If I am honest with you, I have to experience my first Chinese takeaway, ever.
I am not a complete tofu convert, but the two dishes that helped me on the road to appreciating tofu, was a Thai Green curry

and a Mushroom strogonoff recipe where the tofu is marinated in red wine then lightly fried in oil.

Both recipes are adapted from Nadine Abensurs Fast Food Cranks (I think).
Kella the texture of the tofu cooked this way is really good.
ReplyDeleteHello E.
Thank you. My nephews are having a good time, they are due to go back to Wales late tomorrow evening. They don't always enjoy everything I give them to eat, but they do like to give it a go, and like good boys, do eat up everything given to them. I am proud of them.
e - You read right about the comment 'having a librarian's practised eye...' but it wasn't me that wrote it. I think it was a comment left by one of my fellow bloggers: Choclette (see above comment and post below). http://allotment2kitchen.blogspot.com/2010/01/being-kitch.html
Can I be nosy and ask why? :D
Thank you Ancoo.
Sophie,
I recommend these tofu bites for sure.
Thanks Stephanie,
I don't know if my nephews are having the best holiday ever, but they are being fed well, very well in fact :D
Thank You Jo.
Barbara I would have been more than delighted to share some of these nibbles with you, but even after making funny faces, the cheeky nephews gobbled them down pretty quick.
Thank you Astra. The rosemary rules here for sure.
e - I think I know why :D
ReplyDeleteJust reminded myself of your blogger profile.
Great idea...I've never seen tofu cooked like this...Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you for coming by Bo.
ReplyDeleteLoved this, thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Curious Mind.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but what is "gas mark 5"? Does that correspond to a certain temperature?
