This yummy tofu bake is a staple meal in our house because it’s super tasty, easy to make, nice and filling plus it can be eaten for several days after it’s first prepared. It’s a great base recipe that you can slightly alter with other ingredients to either switch up the flavor or nutrient count. Any time I can sneak in Indian flavors to my dishes I do! However, you can easily substitute the tikka paste for another savory style sauce or herb blend. I love pairing this dish with an arugula salad for dinner or just eating a slice for breakfast. It’s super versatile and can also be great to take to gatherings. I recently made two versions of this bake for a good friend’s wedding day brunch and it was a big hit! As always, use organic where you can!
