So Multi-verse Matt reached out to me the other day, and said that apparently this recipe is a popular staple in his reality. Though that was a good bit surprising, it wasn’t as stunning as knowing that certain words that start with V isn’t associated with his status… I just kind of assumed all us Matt’s were, well, that; but evidently he met his twinflame \ soulmate and yada yada yada here I am posting recipes I’ll never consume.

Anyway this went places, so let’s just bulldoze past that awkwardness and into taste central!

1 pound extra-firm tofu, well drained, cut into 1⁄4-inch slices, and pressed (see Tofu)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

1⁄2 teaspoon salt

1⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

So first, start with preheating the oven to 350 F. Lightly oil a baking sheet and set aside. Cut the tofu slices into 1⁄4-inch strips. In a medium bowl, gently toss the tofu strips with the oil, Cajun spice blend, salt, and pepper, until well coated. If you want to do a Cajun accent at this point, that’s probably fine, but make sure no one of that persuasion is near by and critiquing your attempt.

Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, and bake until firm and nicely browned, about 45 minutes, turning once with a metal spatula about halfway through. Set aside to let them cool and firm up. Serve at room temperature… Makes 6 to 8 servings
