Crusted Tofu


Great meal for vegetarians. Wonderful served with marinara sauce.

Steps


Take your tofu and cut it into 1 / 2-inch thick slabs across the short side of the tofu block and set them aside.
In a shallow , non-reactive bowl , combine your buttermilk and herbs and add the tofu to that bowl and turn it to coat well.
Let stand 20 minutes in this mixture.
Meanwhile , mix the cornflakes with the salt and cayenne and place it in a flat , wide dish.
Heat your olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat , and coat your tofu slabs in the cornflake mixture , making sure to press the cornflakes gently into the tofu to cover.
Place the coated tofu slabs in the heated pan and allow them to cook for 4 minutes until golden brown.
Turn the tofu and cook on the other side 3 minutes , or until golden brown.
Serve immediately or place on a baking pan in a 200-degree oven to keep warm until ready to serve.
