Tofu Kale Recipes

This is a modified version of a recipe in my favorite vegan cookbook (La Dolce Vegan!) I'm not a big fan of the taste of kale by itself, but since it is so nutritious I did some experimenting, and found that it is delicious when minced in a tofu loaf =)

Feel free to add or substitute ingredients with what you prefer or have on hand. This is so simple and delicious, you must try it!

This makes a light, open faced omelet, good for any meal.

Kale is a member of the cruciferous family of vegetables (genus Brassica), so named because their flowers have four petals in the shape of a cross. A nutritional powerhouse that tastes wonderful when properly cooked, kale is one of nature’s best sources of vitamins A, C and K and a very good source of copper, potassium, iron, manganese and phosphorus. These greens are hearty, and they maintain about 50 percent of their volume when you cook them, unlike spinach, which cooks down to a fraction of its volume. The various types of kale also maintain a lot of texture, which makes them perfect for stir-fries.

Nutrition, warmth and happiness in a 2-cup serving. Very tasty.

Roasted veggies and tofu atop kale with a drizzle of tahini make this a great, quick lunch! Easy to make ahead for the week. Adapted from a recipe from Sugar Savvy Solutions.

A simple and tasty twist on a traditional standby

Delicious vegan meal.

This is more of a soy-flavored than egg-y. My husband describes the flavor as being 'ramen-like'.

Easy to assemble and very nutritious and tasty. Good for lunch.

Lots of protein, packed with calcium, vitamins and minerals. Use any veggies you like. Sodium probably a little lower than the calc. because you don't actually eat all of it - some is drained away in the marindade.

This is a GREAT party dish - especially if you're partying with a bunch of vegetarians! Nice and colourful, filling, I think it's very festive! It makes a great lunch all by itself and keeps really well in the fridge in case you're taking it to work. With about 13 grams of protein, it's great training food!

the calculation is for 6 servings - but that's if you're eating it as a meal. If you're taking as a side it's more like 8-10 servings.

The sweet, spicy, and tangy citrus meal which taught me that tofu can be genuinely delicious.

Ravensong posted this on her blog on 3/24/11, and it sounded great! I think it should make 4 generous servings. I subbed in what I had on hand. Check out her blog! For those following Dr. Furhman's Eat to Live 6-week plan, omit the oil and use Pam spray, water or veggie broth instead.
