Two 12-oz. boxes firm tofu (regular or Lite), each cut crosswise into six slices
\nMarinade:
\n1 tsp. grated lemon zest
\nJuice of 1 lemon
\n1\/2 C. dry white wine
\n1\/3 C. mellow white miso
\n1 small garlic clove, minced
\n1 T. extra virgin olive oil<\/p>\n
1\/2 C. all-purpose flour
\n1 T. extra virgin olive oil
\n1 1\/2 T. capers, rinsed and drained<\/p>\n
Preheat the oven to 375\u00b7 F. Cover a large baking sheet or shallow pan with foil. Coat the foil with cooking spray. Arrange the sliced tofu in one layer on a jelly roll pan or cookie sheet. Bake until the tofu has released several T. of water, and lightly resists being pressed with your finger in the center of a slice, instead of shattering, 20-25 minutes. This step can be done ahead. The firmed tofu can be cooled, covered, and refrigerated for 24 hours. For the marinade, combine the lemon zest and juice in a small saucepan with the wine, miso, garlic, and 1 T. of the olive oil. Add 1\/4 C. water. Bring the marinade to a boil over high heat. Cook it for 1 minute. Place the tofu in a shallow baking dish just large enough to hold the slices in one layer. Pour the hot marinade over the tofu. Bake the tofu until the marinade has dried to a moist paste on top, 30 minutes. Cool the tofu in the pan, with the marinade. It will become firm enough to handle gently without breaking. Using a pancake turner, transfer the tofu to paper towels and pat it dry. If there is excess coating, scrap it off and mix it back into the marinade remaining in the pan. Sprinkle the flour to cover a dinner plate. Dredge the tofu slices in the flour, turning so it is coated on all sides. Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Saut\u00e9 the tofu until it is golden brown the bottom, about 2 minutes. Turn and brown on the other side, 1-2 minutes. Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Add the capers When the liquid boils, place 3 slices of tofu on each of 4 dinner plates. Spoon the sauce over them, dividing it evenly among the plates. Serve immediately.<\/p>\n

Made like a classic Italian picatta, tofu cutlets in this meatless version are lightly floured and browned. They drink up the tangy sauce, which is intensified by the flavor of miso. This dish takes minutes of your time to prepare. While the tofu firms in the oven to the texture of chicken breast, you are free to make an accompanying green salad, and rice to absorb the boldly flavored sauce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1242","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-meat-free"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1242","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1242"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1242\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1242"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1242"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1242"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
