In addition, I also made the biscuits and gravy from the same book. Woohoo for brunch!
Anyhow, this meal was very very good. I even sat at the table to eat it. Typically I lay around when I eat.There is a lot of prep work, so I started yesterday. I decided to make their BBQ sauce which is a component of the tofu marinade. It was good, but I still think Veganomicon's apricot bbq sauce is my fave. The recipe made buckets of sauce, so I see a BBQ'd tofu post in my future.
Marinating tofu:
The thick soy milk bath:
The bread crumb tank:
The spicy flour dredge:
After going through all the stations, I fried them up in my cast iron pan. I found part way through that you really need to oil up that pan. They weren't sticking, but they weren't being properly fried. oil solved the problem.
Here is what the final pile up looked like. The gravy was made with crumbled up sausages. Very tasty.
Here's a picture of Peepa lounging underneath a laptop so he can leech off its heat. That cat is never warm enough. I think I'll make him another sock hoodie this year.

swap update!~
That tofu looks sooo good. I'm getting that cook book for sure.
Peepa's soooo cute. Did you know peeper in Spanish means Sunflower Seed!!
It's spelt differently but that don't matter.
I was just thinking about that cookbook... I remember getting it for a friend long before my veggie days... this is a definite sign... I must get it.
and Peepa's such a sweetheart... my little scoot was sitting on my purse and scarf this morning shivering... broke my heart to leave for work!
Thanks for the comment on my pizza recipe. Your version sounds amazing as well. I LOVE pineapple on pizza. That picture of your cat is so adorable.
I also hear you on ignored cookbooks. I neglect mine more than I probably should because I keep finding so many good sounding recipes online or in magazines.
Jeni - peeper peepa, close enough. that's cute.
Guava - I cover peepa w/ blankets sometimes if I think he is cold. He doesn't mind it. Plus those cats all lay together for warmth. doesn't matter what time of the year.
Kelly - I'm really bad w/ the cookbooks if they don't have pictures or at least some text explaining why I should make the recipe. I need a little push.
Bex - thanks again for the push and the pictures of the food.
I'm totally with you on needing photos or text telling me why to make a recipe. Anyone can just list ingredients! What is it about this recipe that makes it special?
Your b&g and country fried tofu look glorious!!!
And your kitties are all adorable. I miss kitty love!
ooo, my bf has that cookbook. i should steal it from him. :-) i make another similar tofu that's baked instead of fried. i wish i could remember which cookbook it came out of.
your tofu is rated a 10/10 by tofufreak! hehe :D
Hey - I DID get the cook book!
:)
Your Breadcrumbs look soooo good (better than mine - I used white Bread because that's what I had to hand but next time I'll deffo get a nice wholesome healthier Bread).
