Ingredients
2 14- to 16-ounce tubs extra-firm tofu[Orange marinade]juice of 1 orangejuice of 1 lemon2 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce1/2 cup orange marmalade1 tablespoon Olive oil or other healthy vegetable oil1 tablespoon Yellow mustard1/2 teaspoon dried tarragonseveral grindings of black pepper8 to 10 baby carrots, quartered lengthwise2 cloves garlic, minced, optional1/3 cup silvered almonds1/4 teaspoon curry powder1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
Preheat the oven to 425º F.
Cut each block of tofu into 8 slices (about 1/2 inch thick) crosswise. Blot well between several layers of paper towel or a clean tea towel.
Combine the ingredients for the marinade in a small mixing bowl and whisk together.
Arrange the tofu in a single layer on a parchment-lined roasting pan. Spoon the marinade generously over the surface of the tofu. Roast for 15 minutes, or until the tofu begins to turn golden.
Carefully flip the tofu with a spatula, and spoon more marinade over the surface (you will likely have a bit left over). Roast for 15 minutes longer, or until the tofu is firm and golden.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a small skillet. Add the carrots, garlic, and almonds, and sauté over medium heat, stirring frequently, until both are golden. Stir in the curry powder and remove from the heat.
When the tofu is done, transfer to a rectangular or oval serving platter or two, depending on their size, with the slices slightly overlapping one another.
Sprinkle the carrot-almond mixture evenly over the surface, topped by the parsley. Serve at once, passing around the additional marinade.
