Turmeric is a great spice, beautifully deep gold in color, and with a great dusky, smoky flavor. Tofu takes on the flavors of anything you mix it with. Thank you to Andrew Weil MD for this recipe.
1 pound tofu, firm
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 tablespoon mustard
1 tablespoon pickle relish
3 tablespoons celery, chopped
3 tablespoons onion, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 teaspoon paprika
salt to taste
Instructions:
Drain tofu well and mash. Add vegetables and spices, mash more, and mix thoroughly. Serve on a bed of lettuce with something brightly colored, like carrot sticks, or red peppers. You can add hot sauce, too, if you’re so inclined. Of course, some people put hot sauce on just about everything. I know someone like that.
