Orzo With Tomato and Fried Tofu

"I'm always on the lookout for a good vegetarian entreé, and since I love orzo and tofu I tried this recipe. My son is not too fond of feta cheese so I left it out of his portion, but the rest of us enjoyed it just as written. Note: after making this a few times I decided to try goat cheese and it was really good -- my son even liked it!"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Our family moved to Florida from New York in the 90's, so I've brought not only many of the recipes my family has passed down, but have learned to cook some great Southern dishes as well.? When I found RZ, it opened up a whole new world of cooking -- cuisine from different countries, tried-and-true family hand-me-down recipes, and some interesting and delicious dishes I would never have found on my own.
