Risotto from Vegan Yum Yum, tofu from Veganomicon
The risotto was good, although as Lolo mentions, not super creamy, almost more of a pilaf than a risotto. However, if it means I don't have to stir for three hours, I am down with it. The spinach was baby spinach sauteed with sun-dried tomatoes, white wine and lemon juice. I think I used too much lemon juice, but it was still good mixed in with the rice. The tofu is the Italian Marinated Tofu from Vcon/VwaV, using my favorite San Diego Soy Dairy herbed tofu. Instead of marinating and then baking I just stuck it in the oven with the marinade. I cooked at a slightly higher temperature so I could put it in the oven with the rice, and broiled it a little bit at the end, and it turned out great, all chewy and crispy on the outside. It was delicious in sandwiches for lunch, too.

I’ve never made risotto, mainly because it sounds like it’s supposed to be really hard. But I love arbiaro (I know I spelled that wrong) rice. I should try it sometime! And that tofu looks perfect!
