Baked Tofu in Tomato Sauce Served

Baked Tofu in Tomato Sauce

Tofu is one of the most popular plant-based protein sources, used in Asian cuisine for centuries. This tomato sauce version is a modern, Mediterranean-inspired recipe that combines the crispy texture of tofu with a rich, flavorful tomato sauce. The baked tofu surface caramelizes slightly, while the tomato sauce adds a pleasantly acidic and spicy flavor. This dish is quick to prepare, making it a perfect choice for a busy weekday or a light weekend dinner. It pairs especially well with pasta, rice, or fresh bread to enhance the flavors.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Press the tofu with paper towels to remove excess moisture, then cut into small cubes.

    2

    Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the tofu cubes for 5-6 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

    3

    Finely chop the onion and garlic. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in the same skillet and sauté the onion for 2-3 minutes, until translucent.

    4

    Add the garlic and sauté for another minute, until fragrant.

    5

    Pour in the tomato sauce, then stir in the oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and sugar. Mix well to combine.

    6

    Add the balsamic vinegar and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

    7

    Return the baked tofu to the sauce, then gently stir to coat each piece with the tomato sauce.

    8

    Cook for another 5 minutes, then serve hot with freshly cooked pasta, rice, or crusty bread.
