Mushy recipe

Maybe there is already a thread out there that is for people to post favorite recipes, but I could not find it. I think having a thread specifically for recipes is a great idea.

So here's my contribution. If you're looking for a 1c of this, 2T of that... that is not how I cook. But here is what I came up with.

If you like enchilada's you might like this.

Here are the ingrediants (please note that the only other time I have cooked with tofu it found a nice place in the garbage can):

1 pkg silken tofu

Olive oil

minced garlic

chili powder

small can of tomato paste

chicken flavor boullion

salt

Water

more chili powder

garlic powder

  • I started out with a small frying pan on medium heat, put in olive oil and minced garlic (the kind from the jar).
  • After the garlic had a chance to flavor the the oil I added the tofu which I had cubed.
  • After cooking a bit the tofu will start to fall apart so I broke it into smaller pieces with the spatula.
  • Sprinkled tofu with chili powder.
  • Stirred well.

While the tofu was cooking:

  • I put the can of tomato paste into the blender (magic bullet).
  • Added 1/2 - 1 can of water.
  • Started out with chicken bullion.
  • Gave it a spin so these ingrediants were mixed.
  • Added the tofu mixture.
  • Gave it another spin until everything was well mixed and smooth.
  • You will add water to create a smooth, but thick mixture.
  • At this point you will sample and add spice to your own taste (chili powder, boullion, salt, garlic or garlic powder).
  • Mix well after adding spices.

I put this mixture in a small baking dish and mixed in some shredded cheese, covered with tin foil and baked it all together at 350 for about 30-60 min. Next time I make this I will not add the cheese because it did not melt as I expected it to and it left the otherwise smooth mixture with lumps in it and as far as I'm concerned no extra flavor.

I got 3 meals out of this mixture.

I will say that I just started throwing this all together and was pretty shocked by how good it tasted when it was all done. If someone had served this to me I would never have guessed that tofu was one of the main ingrediants. I have tried and failed at using tofu in the past and thought I'd give it one more shot since I'm trying to get some Protein in.

If you try it I hope it works out as well for you as it did for me.
