Cajun Tofu

---

This was inspired by a recent trip to new orleans. I wanted something vegetarian, but with cajun taste & this is what i came up with. it's easy enough for a weeknight dinner, but tastes like you've been cooking a while. you can serve it over rice, pasta or, if you want to be really southern, grits.
