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.
Ingredients
- 5 Extra Firm Tofu tubs
- 10 Strips of veggie bacon
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- .5 teaspoons Freshly Grated Turmeric
- 3 Cloves crushed garlic
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
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.
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.
Place a half teaspoon of butter on top of each and then broil until the top is brown and the bacon is cooked.
