This ingredient is wonderful for any vegan looking to boost their B vitamins or just add some tasty umami flavor to their recipes. It can add a cheesiness to recipes that is very satisfying. Ironically, I read her post as I chowed down on a big plate of gluten-free pasta, topped with homemade tomato pasta sauce, pine nuts, and a generous dash of flaked nutritional yeast. My first encounter with nutritional yeast as a college student was on popcorn, and it left me wanting more. Luckily there are a lot of ways to use nutritional yeast. Recently I made a great tofu scramble/saute for breakfast along with some home fries. I devoured the tofu scramble and Toddler Yum couldn&#8217;t get enough of the home fries, so it was a success all around.<br />

<p>Preheat a nice pan and add your grapeseed oil. Sautee your onions until they lose their crunch and then move them to the side. Add a little more olive oil if necessary and heat before adding your tofu cubes. Pan fry until golden brown on one side and then turn. Season tofu with your herbal seasoning blend and herbamare if desired. When both sides of tofu are golden brown, Add your grated carrot and chard or kale. Cook until softened, taste, and drizzle a little gluten-free soy sauce on your tofu if desired. Add generous amount of nutritional yeast on top, heat and then flip over tofu mixture so nutritional yeast is evenly distribute. Taste. Adjust seasonings as needed. Add pepper. Those who have grown-up taste buds can dab with srirachi hot sauce as they like. Avocado cubes would also be tasty on top.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.bookofyum.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/tofumeatballsandy.jpg"><img src="http://www.bookofyum.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/tofumeatballsandy.jpg" alt="" title="tofumeatballsandy" width="299" height="450" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-6151" /></a>Being a savory-type girl, when we stay in for Valentine&#8217;s Day, I tend to concentrate on the savory meal and the dessert is usually something of an afterthought. I know, I know, I have it backwards, but to me nothing says I love you like a hearty, home-cooked vegetarian meal cooked from scratch based around my DH&#8217;s favorite ingredients. I must love him an awful lot, because we often have those. Just one of the perks of having a gluten-free wife, I suppose. This might surprise you, but one of my husband&#8217;s favorite things is tofu. It is unexpected, as he didn&#8217;t grow up eating tofu, but he is something of an adventurer and world-traveler and perhaps his experiences overseas inclined him to like the stuff. Being married to a vegetarian wife for nine years who has an entire arsenal of tofu recipes probably helped as well. When introducing friends and loved ones to tofu I usually start off gently with my famous <a href="http://www.bookofyum.com/blog/the-vegan-grill-ginger-sesame-tofu-149.html" target="_blank">sesame-soy marinated grilled tofu</a>. I haven&#8217;t met anyone yet who doesn&#8217;t love this recipe. At dinner parties I tend to serve it as the protein accompaniment to some creamy risotto, maybe with grilled mushrooms, artichokes, and onions as vegetable sides. For those who are on speaking terms with tofu, I serve my <a href="http://www.bookofyum.com/blog/southern-fried-vegan-114.html" target="_blank">Southern Fried Tofu</a>, usually with mashed potatoes (or cauliflower), french bread, or rice, with some <a href="http://www.bookofyum.com/blog/vegan-gone-gravy-313.html" target="_blank">savory vegan gravy</a>. This is another fabulous recipe that just about everyone loves. It is just so savory and delightful, like all the best parts of fried chicken, blessedly without the chicken. But for a really special occasion, I have been known to bust out this time-intensive but absolutely worth the investment recipe for tofu meatballs for my tofu enamored husband. Because he is worth it. I&#8217;ve also made this recipe most recently for Baby Yum and myself, because we are worth it, and food is, as they say, love. So, whether cooking for yourself, your loved ones or an entire houseful of guests, this is one very special recipe that I hope you enjoy.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bookofyum.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/tofumeatballs6.jpg"><img src="http://www.bookofyum.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/tofumeatballs6-199x300.jpg" alt="" title="tofumeatballs6" width="199" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-6150" /></a>I have adapted it to be gluten-free and a bit more savory from a rather dated and, I&#8217;m sorry to say, out of print edition of<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0394737458?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=boofyu-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=0394737458">The Great American Tofu Cookbook</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=boofyu-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=0394737458" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> that promises to teach the reader to use &#8220;the Orient&#8217;s Amazing Protein Food in America&#8217;s Favorite Dishes.&#8221; Oh dear. However dated the tagline, the author has some very creative ideas about using tofu, and we&#8217;ve enjoyed several recipes from the book including Tofu Strips with spicy peanut sauce and a rather stellar Tofu with Mushrooms in White Wine Sauce. What can I say, we like our tofu. And I hope you will enjoy this recipe too, brought to you with love from all of us at the Book of Yum. Happy Valentines Day! It is perfect for a night of spaghetti love. Re-enactment of a gluten-free vegetarian version of a certain &#8220;Lady and the Tramp&#8221; scene, anyone? If you have any leftovers, you can serve it on <a href="http://www.bookofyum.com/blog/gluten-free-vegan-french-bread-recipe-4704.html">gluten-free french bread</a> in a subway sandwich. Delightful!  What is your favorite vegetarian main dish for Valentines Day, or other romantic holidays?</p>

<div class="yum_recipeHeading">
Ingredients
</div>
<div class="yum_recipeIngredients">
2 lbs firm tofu, drained<br />3 cloves garlic, minced<br />4 whole green onions, sliced<br />1 tsp fennel seeds<br />1/4 cup minced fresh parsley<br />1 1/4 tsp salt<br />generous amounts of freshly ground pepper<br />1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan or romano cheese (optional)<br />1 egg, beaten</p>
<p>3/4 cup gluten-free bread crumbs, made in a food processor<br />1 1/2 tsp italian seasonings<br />1/4 tsp smoked paprika<br />more freshly ground pepper</p>
<p>2 or 3 tbsp. olive oil<br />pasta sauce<br />A few large mushrooms, thinly sliced (optional)</p>
<p>fresh basil for serving<br />additional grated parmesan or romano (or dairy-free cheese) for pasta
</div>
<div class="yum_recipeHeading">
Directions
</div>
<div class="yum_recipeDirections">
Slice tofu horizontally and wrap in kitchen towels and put a cutting board on top of the wrapped tofu. Put something on top of the cutting board, like a pot, for additional weight. Leave it to drain for 20 minutes. Then wrap it in a clean thin cotton dishtowel, knead it and squeeze as much water out of it as possible.</p>
<p>Knead the tofu in a large bowl for five minutes and then add the garlic, green onions, fennel seeds, parsley, salt, pepper, and cheese. Knead it for another few minutes. Whisk the egg and work it into the tofu dough.</p>
<p>Combine the ground bread crumbs, spices and pepper in a large flat bowl or pie pan. Make small, walnut-sized balls out of the tofu dough and roll each ball in the dough.</p>
<p>Heat the olive oil in a nonstick pan or well-seasoned cast-iron pan on medium and fry your tofu ganmo meatballs on each side until golden brown. I like to freeze half the recipe and save it for another time.</p>
<p>Then simmer in pasta sauce for an hour or more so it absorbs the flavors. If you like you can add thinly sliced fresh mushrooms to the pasta sauce and let them simmer along with the tofu meatballs. </p>
<p>Serve on gluten-free french bread with fresh basil leaves or on gluten-free spaghetti, sprinkled with additional grated cheese and julienned basil.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.bookofyum.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/potatoenchilada5.jpg"><img src="http://www.bookofyum.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/potatoenchilada5.jpg" alt="potatoenchilada5" title="potatoenchilada5" width="300" height="451" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3830" /></a> This week I started preparing food to stock our mini-freezer for after the baby comes. I always enjoy frozen enchiladas, so I thought I&#8217;d make some. I like <A href="http://www.amys.com/products/category_view.php?prod_category=4" target="_blank">Amy&#8217;s gluten-free enchiladas</a>, but they are either very rich and cheesy or a little too healthy, without much in between. Also, at least in California where I live, the price of Amy&#8217;s meals has been consistently creeping up into the $5/meal mark, which I find a bit excessive. For dinner tonight, I decided to make a healthy gluten-free enchilada filled with lots of delicious chard, tofu, and potatoes. I was inspired by <A href="http://www.bookofyum.com/blog/category/north-india">Indian aloo jeera recipes</a> (potatoes with cumin) when I prepared the potatoes using a healthy twice browning Indian technique, but I used mexican spices like epazote and chili to bring out the spirit of (Fusion) enchiladas. I&#8217;d never had potato enchiladas before, but I thoroughly enjoyed this healthy and tasty enchilada, and I think it&#8217;s going to be delicious on a night when I have no time to cook and am sick of prepared food after Baby Yum joins us. I hope you enjoy it as well!</p>

<div class="yum_recipeHeading">
Ingredients
</div>
<div class="yum_recipeIngredients">
2 tsp. your favorite oil<br />3 small-medium potatoes, peeled and diced<br />1 tbsp. cumin</p>
<p>2 tsp. your favorite oil<br />1 yellow onion, sliced<br />1/2 red onion, diced<br />1/2 block of tofu, sliced and pressed between towel for 30 minutes, and then diced<br />1 1/2 cups crimini mushrooms, chopped<br />small bunch of organic chard, cleaned and diced</p>
<p>dried epazote (optional)<br />chili powder (spicy) or sharp paprika (not spicy)<br />lemon pepper</p>
<p>2 tbsp. butter<br />2 tbsp sweet rice flour<br />1/2 cup cream cheese (I only had whipped, lowfat)<br />2 cups milk (or more- until you have a satisfactory white sauce)<br />1/2 cup fresh chopped cilantro</p>
<p>shredded white organic cheese, to taste (about 1/2 cup)<br />1/2 jar of organic GF salsa or GF enchilada sauce</p>
<p>1 package sprouted corn tortillas or equivalent number of homemade tortillas
</p></div>
<div class="yum_recipeHeading">
Directions
</div>
<div class="yum_recipeDirections">
Heat 2 tsp. oil in a nonstick pan on medium high and add your cumin. When they pop, add your potatoes and toss with cumin and a little salt, letting the potatoes brown on one side and then turning. When potatoes are browned on both sides but not cooked through, remove them from pan and reserve.</p>
<p>Heat more oil in the pan on medium and add the onion and a little salt, letting it slowly caramelize. Turn onion as needed. When onion is almost done, move it to the side and add a touch more oil and then add your diced tofu. Brown them on one side and then turn. When the tofu is almost done, add your mushrooms and let begin to cook and release juices. Add your potatoes back in and a small amount of water and cover pan with a lid. Let potatoes cook intermingled with other ingredients. Check after pan goes dry and turn and add a little more water and cover again if needed. If potato seems almost done, add chard and seasonings to taste. Fold in and leave pan uncovered to letting chard wilt and adding more if you couldn&#8217;t fit it all in the pan. When all ingredients are cooked and seasoned to taste, remove from pan and reserve.</p>
<p>Melt butter in pan and add gluten-free flour, combining to make a roux. Slowly whisk in milk 1/4 cup at a time and adding more as needed. After you have a nice thin sauce, add the cream cheese and let melt together, adding milk to get the quantity of white sauce you want. As the sauce thickens and you have a nice creamy texture, gently season with lemon pepper and fresh chopped cilantro. Fold reserved prepared veggies into the white sauce. </p>
<p>Prepare a nonstick pan with a dab of oil and heat on medium-low. Pour a little salsa into a large plate and dip tortilla in salsa on both sides and then warm in the nonstick pan, browning first one side and then the other.</p>
<p>Pour a little salsa in the bottom of a medium square pan and gently fill salsa-browned tortilla with creamy vegetables and roll into an enchilada shape. Continue preparing all enchiladas in this way. Baste with a little extra salsa and sprinkle top with shredded cheese.</p>
<p>Bake in preheated 350 oven for 15 minutes (or longer if you prefer) and enjoy!

The other morning I woke up with a craving for a hearty vegetarian breakfast. Red potato home fries sounded like just the thing- and so did a tasty tofu breakfast saute. I poked around in the refrigerator and found some mustard, which made me think of how lovely tofu would be with a sweet mustard sauce, nutritional yeast, and veggies. I fried up a yummy dish for breakfast, and I enjoyed it, but the mustard sauce hadn&#8217;t had a chance to permeate the tofu yet. Hmm. Not blog worthy, I thought. Then later that day I decided to have some of the leftovers as a snack. I was going to reheat it- but thought I&#8217;d steal a bite cold. It was really delicious! The flavors had spread throughout the dish and the tofu was now perfect. It would be great on a fresh, crispy salad, or even in a gluten-free sandwich. So- I changed my mind and decided to blog this recipe after all- as a yummy cold tofu salad instead of hot- because sometimes temperature makes all the difference in flavor! </p>
<p>*sorry to any who might have read this post on Tuesday- the date of the scheduled post got messed up so it was briefly up and got emailed early. Don&#8217;t worry, you shouldn&#8217;t receive any other posts emailed twice.*</p>

<div class="yum_recipeHeading">
Ingredients
</div>
<div class="yum_recipeIngredients">
1 tbsp. GF mustard (your favorite variety)<br />1 tsp tahini<br />1 tsp brown rice vinegar<br />1 tsp honey or agave syrup (for vegan variation)<br />1 tbsp. olive oil<br />1 package firm tofu, pressed for at least 30 min in a towel and cut into cubes<br />dried dill<br />smoked paprika or chipotle pepper<br />salt to taste<br />1/4 small onion, diced<br />1 carrot, peeled and grated<br />1 small peach or nectarine, pitted and sliced<br />1 small zucchini cubed<br />Very large handful fresh spinach<br />Generous handfuls of nutritional yeast<br />Braggs liquid amino acids (soy sauce) or your favorite GF Tamari like San-J low sodium</p>
</div>
<div class="yum_recipeHeading">
Directions
</div>
<div class="yum_recipeDirections">
Combine mustard, tahini, vinegar, and honey (or agave) in a small container.</p>
<p>Heat olive oil in a nonstick pan and add firm, pressed tofu cubes. Season with dill, smoked paprika and salt to taste. When tofu has browned on one side, turn, season other side and begin to brown. Add your mustard sauce and evenly distribute through the tofu mixture. Add your onion and let it begin to cook. Add grated carrot, peach slices and zucchini, cook for a minute or two, and add spinach. As spinach wilts, fold into dish and sprinkle with nutritional yeast. Fold yeast into dish. Taste and then sprinkle with Braggs soy sauce to taste. Check that tofu is browned and zucchini is done to your taste.</p>
<p>You can eat hot, but I prefer to let it cool and sit for half of a day or so and then serve it cold. It would be great as a substitute for &#8220;chicken&#8221; salad- on lettuce and/or in a gluten-free sandwich.

When the DH and I went on a trip to the Northwest in our Gypsy Van, we encountered a sauce called &#8220;yumm sauce&#8221; at a <a href="http://www.bookofyum.com/blog/gluten-free-friendly-restaurants-and-health-food-stores-in-eugene-oregon-cafe-yumm-review-3139.html">local cafe chain in Eugene, Oregon</a>. The sauce was delicious, and I bought a salad dressing sized container of it to take home. However, I realized that I would soon run out of this tasty concoction, and the DH and I can only go to Eugene once or twice a year, so I got cracking in the kitchen to come up with a similar sauce based in nutritional yeasty bean goodness. I was out of chickpeas at the time so used white beans, to good effect. I served it on gluten-free pasta with crunchy veggies and the DH and I both enjoyed this hearty, nutritious sauce. Unfortunately I neglected to photograph the pasta dish, but I did record the ingredients. That pasta (and sauce, which made way too much for just one recipe) is long gone, but I did still have some Yumm sauce. This morning as I whipped myself up a tofu saute using some very well pressed firm tofu that had been left in the fridge overnight, I decided to use yum sauce along with a wealth of fresh veggies and just a touch of cheese for seasoning. The dish was delicious- and one I&#8217;ll be making again. Of course this recipe is most convenient if you have a bottle of the Eugene based company&#8217;s Yumm sauce, but if you can&#8217;t visit their Oregon cafes, you can still make some sauce and have it on hand for a variety of recipes. Let me know if you try it- and how you end up using it! *Note: this sauce is best for a vegan/ vegetarian palate- and for those who like nutritional yeast. Luckily the DH, while not vegetarian himself, enjoys vegetarian cuisine and is something of a nutritional yeast junkie. I knew I loved him for a reason!</p>

On a recent trip to Portland, my DH enjoyed stopping at a local wings place. I didn&#8217;t envy him the wings, but I was very curious about the sweet barbecue sauce, because prior to that I had pretty much only seen very spicy sauces used for wings. Luckily my DH, while not vegetarian himself, is always willing to try any new tofu dish I make, so when I decided to come up with a vegetarian &#8220;hot wings&#8221; recipe using tofu as the protein, he was game. I made a gluten-free, sweet barbecue sauce from scratch, and then fried pressed tofu before coating it in half of the sauce recipe. I served it with ranch dressing and carrot sticks in the best bar food tradition. We enjoyed it a lot, but I still had half of the barbecue sauce left, so the next day I decided to use it in a slow roasted homemade barbecued beans recipe with baked tofu added for textual interest and extra protein. I think I may have enjoyed that dish even more than the tofu wings- although the &#8220;wings&#8221; were more entertaining. Feeling sad about all the bar menus you can&#8217;t order anything from as a gluten-free vegetarian? No worries&#8230; just make your own versions, or try mine. Enjoy!</p>
<p>What bar food items do you miss or envy on the gluten-free diet? Have you tried replicating any of them to be gluten-free and/or vegetarian? Tell us about it in the comments.<br />

I wanted sweet, and this recipe is certainly sweet. Next time I&#8217;d experiment with less sweet elements to see if I can get a more balanced recipe- but it is tasty!
