Sandwich Tofu

Sometimes cold cuts get a little old. Here's another filler for your sandwich that you may find more filling (and definitely cheaper) than cold cuts. The recipe comes from "Simply In Season".

• Ready In: 5 mins
• Yields: 4 sandwiches

Ingredients

• 2  garlic cloves, minced
• 1⁄2 inch gingerroot, peeled and minced
• 1 (14 ounce) package extra firm tofu, cut in slices 1/8-1/4 inch thick
• 3  tablespoons tamari or 3  tablespoons soy sauce

Directions

1. In a frypan sauté garlic and ginger root very lightly in one tablespoon olive oil for 1 minute.
2. Add tofu and sauté until lightly browned.
3. Add tamari and shake the pan until the tofu comes into contact with the tamari. Cook about 2 minutes then turn slices over. Brown tofu as desired (some like it somewhat crispy, others softer). When cool, assemble sandwich. Keeps well in refrigerator for a couple of days.
