Add rich, savory flavor while enhancing the overall texture of your recipe with this healthy tofu sausage. A SUPER SIMPLE recipe for BIG flavor.

Ingredients

  • 2 blocks (14 ounces each) (794 grams) tofu extra firm
  • 1 ½ tablespoons (22 ½ milliliters) soy sauce
  • 1 ½ tablespoons (22 ½ milliliters) worcestershire
  • 2 teaspoons (4 grams) paprika
  • 1 teaspoon (2 grams) oregano
  • 1 ½ teaspoons (4 4/7 grams) garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon (2 grams) onion powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons (3 grams) fennel seeds

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400
  • Crumble both blocks of tofu onto a thick dish towel. You are aiming for ground beef size pieces.
  • Roll the tofu up in the dishtowel to squeeze out moisture.
  • Transfer crumbles into a mixing bowl.
  • Press the fennel seeds by using a mortar and pestle or put them in a Ziploc bag and bang with a rolling pin. You’re not trying to crush or break them. We just want to give them a little pop to release their best flavor.
  • Add all seasonings to the bowl and use your hands to incorporate. No need to marinate. The flavors will develop beautifully while baking.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and form a single layer of tofu on the sheet
  • Bake for 15 minutes and then stir. Bake for an additional 10 minutes. You want the tofu to be brown and dried out, but not burnt or crispy.
