Bacon Wrapped Filets

Tonight was a special birthday dinner so we made a special veggie bacon wrapped tofu that was sautéed and then broiled. Easy to make but definitely a pretty presentation that made it feel like a special occasion. To be certain, the Redneck had porterhouse steak because it was HIS birthday and not everyone is a vegetarian all the time. It was a lovely celebration and a good meal all around.

Bacon Wrapped Filets

Servings: 5

Ingredients

Servings

• 5 Extra Firm Tofu tubs
• 10 Strips of veggie bacon
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 teaspoons Freshly Grated Turmeric
• 3 Cloves crushed garlic
• Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Using a large biscuit cutter make a circle from your tofu brick and wrap it with two slices of bacon. Mine fit in the cast iron pan snug enough not to require a toothpick but you can certainly secure them with one if desired.
   
2. Melt a couple table spoons of butter in a heavy cast iron pan and add your freshly ground turmeric and ginger. Then place your tofu medallions in the pan and sear the bottom on medium heat for a few minutes.
   
3. Place a half teaspoon of butter on top of each and then broil until the top is brown and the bacon is cooked.
