Farro Risotto, Grilled Tofu

Dinner 2/16

Farro Risotto

Grilled Tofu

We love farro -- it has become a staple in our pantry over the years with its nutty, chewy texture. Tonight we made a risotto based on a recipe from the Greenhouse Tavern in Cleveland (subbing earth balance, veg stock & nooch).

We topped it with grilled tofu which was smoked with alder wood for 25 minutes, marinated for 15 minutes and finally grilled on the stove.

A few things to consider while reading this blog

1. When an ingredient is listed like [this], it means [this] was the original ingredient in the recipe. 99% of the recipes get adapted in one form or another.

2. When Tofu is referred to, it usually means extra firm tofu, If the (softer) tofu in the aseptic box is used, it'll be noted. Boxed tofu mostly gets used in cream sauces.

Assume that we're talking about Rice Milk, Vegan Cheese and non bone-char sugar.

3. Links to recipes are shown when available, if there's no link, we'll try to cite the book/magazine issue from where it came. If there's no recipe cited, it usually means we made it up... and if there's nothing at all, enjoy the pretty pictures. ;)

4. We don't like ersatz food (i.e. tofu molded into the shape of a turkey for Thanksgiving), but we're funny that way.

5. A brief personal history. We were vegetarian for 7 years, and have been vegan for the last 20 years.

If you have the time, check out the music page.

6. There is no Number 6
