TOFU WITH TAHINI SAUCE

1-1½ lb. firm (not extra-firm) silken tofu, drained

Marinate tofu in a mixture of ⅛ cup tamari and ⅛ cup water. Slice tofu into sixths, place in pan, and cover with marinade. If there is not enough marinade, make enough to cover tofu. Let sit for 1 hour. Drain before proceeding with recipe. (The marinade drained from the tofu can be stored in the refrigerator and used again.)

⅓ cup tahini
½ tablespoon tamari
⅓ cup water
⅛ teaspoon mace
scant ½ teaspoon Coleman’s mustard powder
⅛ teaspoon onion powder, optional

½ cup fresh parsley, chopped

Combine the tahini, tamari, water, mace, onion powder and mustard in pan. Cook over low heat until mixture thickens.

Pour sauce over drained, marinated tofu. Sprinkle with parsley. Cover and bake at 325° until warmed through, about 45 minutes.

Serve with rice and green vegetable.
