Tofu Parmigiana

Vegetarian Recipe by Sunrise Soya Foods

INGREDIENTS

• 1 pkg Sunrise Extra Firm Tofu sliced
• 2 tbsp basil pesto
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2 cups tomato sauce
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil (for frying)
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated

PREPARATION

• Slice tofu lengthwise into half inch slices. Place in a dish with pesto and oil, cover, refrigerate for eight hours or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 175ºC (350°F). In a large frying pan, heat oil on medium high heat.
• Dip each piece into beaten eggs, then into seasoned bread crumbs. Carefully place tofu slices in the hot pan and pan fry both sides until golden brown on both sides.
• Add half a cup of tomato sauce to a 9-inch baking dish. Place tofu slices evenly over sauce, slightly overlapping if needed. Top with remaining tomato sauce, then top with parmesan cheese.
• Bake for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Serve with green salad and a slice of whole wheat garlic toast.
