The Joy of Soy!

If you think tofu is bland and boring, you're not alone. Hence, I decided to offer an easy way to make it taste yummy. Try this one for a high protein, cholesterol-free main course!

Tofu Cutlets   Gluten free
Serves 4

1 14-ounce package of firm tofu, sliced into 1/2-inch thick pieces
1/2 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 teaspoons brown rice syrup or maple syrup
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Fresh black pepper

Place the tofu in a single layer in a 9 x 13-inch glass baking dish. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and whisk to blend. Spoon a little of this marinade over each tofu cutlet. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or more. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the marinated tofu for 30 minutes or until the surface is golden. Serve hot over brown rice with a side of steamed kale.
