Tofu is made from soybeans. Honestly, tofu is really only made up of 3 main ingredients so as you are shopping be mindful.(Water, soybeans and magnesium chloride)
Tofu is such a versatile plant based option; it will quite literally take the taste of your seasoning choice as well as the texture of how you choose to mold it.
Tofu is a good source of iron & protein. It is cholesterol free and sugar free.
Ok let’s get into the recipe.

⅔ Container of Organic Extra Firm Tofu- Pressed Out
1 tbsp. Olive Oil
¼ finely sliced onion (optional)
½ cup halved cherry tomatoes

Tip for Pressing out the Tofu Block
Wrap the tofu block in 2 paper towels.
Place it inside of your strainer, inside of your sink.
Then place a heavy gallon of water or cans of beans on top of the wrapped tofu.
Leave it there for 15 minutes.
