 our wandering eyes create got been caught past times some of  Jan 23, 2011: Tofu Chicharrones
When nosotros outset grabbed our re-create of on a Latin-themed recipe binge. In recent weeks, our wandering eyes create got been caught past times some of tortillas, it was fourth dimension for some other visit.

Checking over Terry's recommended taco fillings, nosotros returned to the silverbeet amongst raisins in addition to capers in addition to teamed them amongst tofu chicharrones. Anyone amongst detailed cognition of Latin American cuisine volition realise that chicharrones are typically crispy pork pieces. This is the Viva Vegan endeavor to brand something that volition practise the same job, but amongst tofu instead of pork. Let's survive clear: this tofu volition in all likelihood non convince whatsoever pork-mad meat-eater that it tin dismiss fulfil all their porky dreams. Having said that, it's difficult to imagine anyone non loving these crispy, oily, smoky petty bites stuffed within some fresh-made tortillas. They're pretty great. They're basically petty bites of delicious junk food, in addition to combining them amongst something salubrious similar the silverbeet was a real smart move.

The chicharrones are pretty uncomplicated to make, amongst the lawsuit existence to a greater extent than nearly grooming fourth dimension required for freezing, thawing in addition to pressing the tofu rather than anything actually labour intensive. This is the outset fourth dimension we've always frozen in addition to and therefore defrosted tofu in addition to it definitely changes the texture, making it a fleck chewier in addition to much to a greater extent than sponge-like at soaking upwards marinade. They were therefore absorbent, that I ended upwards upping the total of marinade to brand certain at that topographic point was plenty to soak into all the petty tofu pieces.

Tofu chicharrones 
(from Terry Hope Romero's Viva Vegan)

500g theatre tofu

2 tablespoons cherry vino vinegar
2 tablespoons agave syrup

Freeze the tofu overnight in addition to and therefore thaw inwards the morning time (if y'all stick it inwards some warm water, it volition thaw fairly quickly).

When it's thawed, spell it into 1cm thick rectangles, in addition to press the wet out (I started doing this properly, amongst the newspaper towels in addition to the heavy objects, but ended upwards existence to a greater extent than successful simply squeezing each spell betwixt the palms of my hands). The total of liquid that comes out volition depend on the sort of tofu y'all use, but y'all desire to teach every bit much out every bit possible (the to a greater extent than liquid that comes out, the to a greater extent than marinade-absorbent the tofu volition be).

Combine the tamari, liquid smoke, agave syrup, garlic in addition to cherry vino vinegar inwards a bowl in addition to whisk together. This is your marinade.

Tear the tofu rectangles upwards into petty chunks - roughly 1cm*1cm*1cm. Do this every bit roughly in addition to imprecisely every bit y'all like.

Pop the tofu pieces inwards large apartment container in addition to pour the marinade over, smooshing everything together therefore that all the tofu pieces teach their fair part of deliciousness. Leave for 10 or fifteen minutes, occasionally stirring things unopen to to brand certain everything is coated inwards marinade.

In a frying pan, oestrus a 1cm layer of peanut crude oil over medium heat. When the crude oil is hot, carefully house a layer of the tofu pieces inwards it in addition to kid them, turning every infinitesimal or ii therefore that each side gets a sizzle. Once the petty pieces create got browned upwards nicely in addition to started to become crispy on the edges, accept them out in addition to press them inwards some newspaper towels to soak upwards the excess oil.

Repeat amongst the remaining tofu pieces in addition to serve.
