Title: A For Pork Roast
Ingredients:
– 1 block of extra-firm tofu, pressed and sliced into thick slabs
– 1 cup of vegetable broth
– 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon of maple syrup
– 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
– 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon of onion powder
– 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper
– 2 tablespoons of olive oil
– 1 onion, peeled and quartered
– 3 carrots, peeled and chopped into chunks
– 3 potatoes, washed and cut into wedges
– Fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a large roasting pan with olive oil.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the vegetable broth, soy sauce, maple syrup, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to create a marinade.
3. Place the tofu slabs in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Let the tofu marinate for at least 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
4. In the prepared roasting pan, arrange the marinated tofu slabs in a single layer. Pour any remaining marinade over the tofu for extra flavor.
5. Scatter the onion, carrots, and potatoes around the tofu in the roasting pan. Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
6. Cover the roasting pan with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the tofu is golden and the vegetables are tender.
7. Once cooked, remove the roasting pan from the oven and garnish the “pork roast” with fresh rosemary sprigs for a fragrant touch.
