INSTRUCTIONS
1. In a large bowl, combine the well drained tofu and the cheeses. Mix
thoroughly.
2. Combine the eggs, El Pato, garlic, chile, salt and cumin if used. Mix
well and let stand 30 minutes to blend flavors. Add this mixture to the
cheese/tofu combo and mix _thoroughly_.
3. Turn the combined mixture into an ungreased, standard meatloaf baking
dish. Microwave on high 24 minutes, rotating the dish halfway through.
(Note: this is for a medium microwave oven - I don't have a time and
temperature setting for a conventional oven, but I'm sure some cooking
sharpie out there could convert it for us).
4. Remove and cover with aluminum foil. Let stand 30 minutes before
serving. This loaf is so versatile it goes well at breakfast, lunch and
dinner! I personally refrigerate it and use it for breakfast - a 1 1/4"
thick slice needs about 3 1/2 minutes in the microwave to re-heat. Goes
great with Bufalo jalapeno, Tapatio or any good sauce or salsa. Note: This
recipe is for terminal chile-heads - it's both very fiery and very
garlicky. If you don't like things really hot, reduce the shredded chiles
or use a very mild chile and increase heat with subsequent loaves. Also,
Mario makes a good suggestion in using 1/2 El Pato and 1/2 regular tomato
sauce to reduce heat. (For me, that's an unspeakable desecration!)
