INSTRUCTIONS
* Original was for 1/2 cup olive oil; I used 1/4 cup and felt that much
wasn't necessary. Next time I will use 2 tbsp; and remember that most of
that is not absorbed and is thrown away.
** I didn't have any red wine, so I used dry sherry instead.
Drain and press the tofu to remove excess water.
Simmer mushrooms in water for 15 minutes. Toast the oregano in a small
frying pan over a medium flame until it becomes aromatic, without burning
it. Combine the remaining ingredients, adding the oregano when it's ready.
Then combine with the simmering mushrooms. Bring to a boil and simmer a few
minutes longer.
Cut the tofu into 4 slabs. Marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably
overnight (refrigerate). The tofu can marinate several days.
Cut the tofu into strips or cubes and bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes
or so.
NOTES : Use in Mushroom Tofu Stroganoff (see recipe) or in stir fries or
simply as baked tofu.
