Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound tofu pressed and sliced into 1/2-inch thick rectangles
  • 2 pounds fresh spinach washed and stems removed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 1 cup dairy-free cream (such as coconut cream or cashew cream)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté until they become fragrant and translucent.
  3. Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. In a separate pan, heat a little olive oil and cook the tofu slices until they become golden brown on both sides. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. In a small saucepan, combine the dairy-free cream, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
  6. Arrange the tofu slices on a baking sheet. Spoon the cooked spinach over each tofu slice, then drizzle the creamy sauce on top.
  7. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the tofu is heated through and the sauce is bubbly.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
