Tofu Piccata
Anne loves this Piccata sauce. She said she would eat it over anything, but I think it goes especially well over this tofu with some mashed potatoes or gluten free pasta on the side.
Pre-heat the oven to 250 degrees or the lowest setting possible. Drain and slice the tofu into squares or triangles. In a small bowl, mix some GF flour and salt and pepper. Dredge the tofu in the flour and shake off the excess.
Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over high heat in a large skillet. Add the tofu and saute until crisp and browned on each side. Remove and place onto some paper towels and place in oven to stay warm.
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in the same skillet. Add the shallots, dried onions, garlic, and capers and saute, stirring frequently, until softened about 1-2 minutes. Add the wine, and cook, stirring frequently, until reduced by half.
Whisk in the lemon juice, and cook until sauce has reduced a bit more, 1-2 minutes. Whisk in broth and the all-purpose flour and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 minute to thicken. Whisk in the earth balance and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour over the tofu and serve immediately with some mashed potatoes or gluten free pasta!
