Seared Tofu with Garlic, Swiss Chard and Pine Nuts

[Susan Otcenas]

I buy fresh garlic by the bagful at Costco. It never goes to waste!

BTW - there's an Elephant Garlic Festival in North Plains (about 10 miles from here) every year in the summer. Lots of fun! I bought the best variety of garlic there last year. Purple-skinned, excellent taste. I wish I knew the variety's name. I would plant some. Last year I planted a clove of elephant and this year, I have my own plant! I'll divide it and replant so I can have a real harvest next year.

garlic is very easy to grow. Plant cloves in the fall, not the spring. You'll have enough to braid.

That recipe sounds wonderful.. I love tofu esp seared or stir fried. My friend that cooks a lot of tofu dishes suggested marinating the tofu in the low sod soy sauce for a bit before searing it..Thank you for sharing the recipe.. please share more as they come along

I gave it about 20 minutes in the soy sauce before searing. It was really really tasty. I may make some more tonight!

Sounds delicious! I'm going to have to try this one

The Shop-Rite near me sells 16 oz. packages of tofu that are divided into 2-8 oz sealed portions. It stays fresh, and was actually cheaper than a 16 oz. package of Nasoya. Perfect for small households!

Yum!
I will have to give this recipe a try.
