How to Prepare Tofu in Purgatory [Vegan]
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil or water over medium heat; then cook the garlic for 1 to 2 minutes, or until just starting to turn a little golden.
- Add the tomatoes, red pepper flakes, herbs and sugar (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste—then simmer over medium heat while you prepare the tofu.
- Drain the tofu and cut it into 4 evenly sized pieces. First, cut horizontally through the middle to make 2 long pieces, and then cut each of those pieces in half to make 4 squares. If you want to be fancy and have round pieces of tofu like “eggs,” use a cookie cutter to cut 4 rounds and save the scraps for another recipe, such as tofu scramble!
- Gently place the 4 pieces of tofu in the simmering sauce, lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the sauce is thickening up a little and the tofu is soft and heated through.
- Sprinkle each piece of tofu with a little kala namak (if using) just before serving, if you want it to have an “eggy” flavor.
