Cookbook 30, Recipe 1, Total (62)

Deborah Madison - the best cookbook author. I bought this book for $1 at Half Price Books years ago.

Did I like it? It tasted excellent. Psychologically I'm not full. I want pizza and dessert.

Recipe
Drain 1 lg pkg tofu and wrap in a towel and press under a cutting board with a can on top. Meanwhile in a small bowl combine: 1/4 tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and a couple grinds of pepper. In another bowl combine: 2 T chopped tarragon, 2 T chopped basil, 4 chopped scallions, 1/4 cup grated Windmere 4 year aged cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup Carr Vally Creama Kasa cheese (or substitute 1/2 cup whatever cheese you want). In a pan over med-hi heat up 1 T olive oil with 2 Tsp butter. Crumble tofu into the pan and add the turmeric mixture. Cook for 3.5 minutes. Add cheese mixture. Plate and sprinkle with smoked paprika.
