Name: Tofu au Vin for Two
Total time: 35 min
Ingredients: 7 ounces extra-firm tofu; 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided; 1 ½ teaspoons balsamic vinegar; 1/4 teaspoon salt, divided; 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided; 1/2 cup frozen pearl onions, thawed; 1 medium carrot, halved lengthwise and sliced; 1 clove clove garlic, minced; 1 bay leaf; 4 ounces mushrooms, sliced; 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon all-purpose flour; 1 cup light- to medium-bodied red wine, such as Beaujolais Nouveau, Merlot or Pinot Noir; 1 teaspoon butter

Directions

Step 1

Drain, rinse and pat tofu dry; cut into 1/2- to 3/4-inch cubes. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu and cook in a single layer, stirring every 1 to 2 minutes, until golden brown, 7 to 9 minutes total. Transfer the tofu to a shallow dish big enough to fit it in one layer. Sprinkle with vinegar, 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; gently toss to combine.

Step 2

Heat the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in the pan over medium heat. Add onions, carrot, garlic and bay leaf; cook, stirring often, until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring, until they release their liquid, 3 to 5 minutes more. Sprinkle the vegetables with flour; stir to coat.
Step 3

Add wine, the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper to the pan and cook, stirring, until the wine has reduced slightly and the sauce has thickened, 4 to 6 minutes more. Return the tofu to the pan, add butter and stir until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
