Tofu wellington with lentil and dulse gravy on a bed of wilted kale and chick peas
Tofu wellington (phyllo, tofu roasted and then baked with a sauce of shiitake mushrooms, horseradish mustard, vegan worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, garlic, tamari, vegetable stock and sea salt) with lentil and dulse gravy (red lentils, dulse, garlic, vegetable stock, sea salt, herbs provençal) on a bed of wilted kale and chick peas (lemon juice, sea salt, garlic, turmeric, coriander, cumin).
For this dish, I thin sliced the tofu and roasted it until it browned a bit, and then I back it in the sauce until it had all thickened together. I find that, even when I marinade, large blocks of tofu don't soak up as much flavour as slicing and baking. Once the slices where done, I stacked them and rolled them up in a phyllo sheet and baked them. The gravy was straight forward (I put all of the ingredients in the pot, cooked until the lentils were done, blended, and then cooked down the to the consistency I wanted). The chick peas and black kale were a simple sauté until the greens were nicely wilted.
