Equipment

Ingredients

Breaded Tofu

  • 1 14 Ounce Block Extra Firm Tofu
  • 3 Tablespoons Ground Flaxseed + 6 Tablespoons Water
  • ¾ Cup Panko Breadcrumbs gluten-free, if necessary
  • 1 Tablespoon Nutritional Yeast
  • 2 Teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ Teaspoon Ground Thyme
  • ¼ Teaspoon Pepper

Mushroom Gravy

  • ½ Small Red Onion diced
  • 1 Small Carrot sliced
  • 2 Cloves Garlic minced
  • 8 Ounces Cremini Mushrooms sliced
  • 2 Tablespoons Oat Flour
  • 1 ¾ Cups Vegetable Broth
  • 1 Teaspoon Poultry Seasoning
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ Teaspoon Pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Prepare the tofu. In a shallow bowl, mix the flax egg. Let sit 5 minutes.
  • Cut the tofu into 4 rectangles by slicing the block in half across the middle and then cutting each rectangle in half height-wise.
  • In a second shallow bowl or baking dish mix the breadcrumbs, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper.
  • Coat each piece of tofu in the flax egg and then the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down gently on each side to help the breadcrumbs stick.
  • Arrange on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 40-45 minutes until the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
  • Prepare the gravy. Using a splash of the vegetable broth, sauté the onion, carrot, and garlic in a skillet over medium heat, until the onions are translucent and the carrots softened, about 8 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the cooked vegetables and stir to coat.
  • Add the remaining vegetable broth, mushrooms, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then immediately turn down the heat, partially cover and cook for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  • If you want, remove some of the mushrooms before blending. Add the mushrooms to a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer to a gravy boat and add the reserved mushrooms.
  • Serve the gravy over the tofu.
