Ingredients

Scale

Tofu & Protein

  • 400g extra-firm tofu
  • 100g smoked turkey slices

Sauce & Flavorings

  • 200ml plant-based cream
  • 100g sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Cracked black pepper to taste

Herbs & Garnishes

  • Handful of fresh basil leaves, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the tofu: Press the extra-firm tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into cubes or slices depending on your preference. This ensures the tofu holds its shape and absorbs the sauce well.
  2. Sauté the aromatics and smoked turkey slices: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add smoked turkey slices and brown lightly to release their smoky aroma and form the base flavor.
  3. Cook the tofu and sun-dried tomatoes: Add tofu cubes to the skillet and cook until they develop a golden crust on the edges. Stir in chopped sun-dried tomatoes and mix well to infuse the vibrant flavor into the tofu.
  4. Create the creamy sauce: Pour in plant-based cream and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, then sprinkle natural gelling agent to thicken the sauce to a velvety consistency. Simmer gently, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  5. Final touches and seasoning: Season with salt and cracked black pepper to taste. Fold in chopped fresh basil leaves just before serving to enhance freshness and aroma.

Notes

  • Press tofu well to ensure perfect texture and flavor absorption.
  • Simmer sauce gently to prevent curdling and maintain creaminess.
  • Use oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes for richer flavor and softer texture.
  • Stir frequently to evenly distribute flavors and avoid sticking.
  • Add fresh herbs at the end to preserve vibrant flavor and color.
