Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 (16 ounce) block super firm tofu
  • 4 cups veggie broth
  • ½ lemon juiced
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary
  • 1 sprig fresh thyme
  • 2-3 leaves fresh sage
  • 1 teaspoon salt up to 1 tablespoon depending on how your broth tastes
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Spray oil
  • ¼ cup cornstarch

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
  • Cut the tofu from the into 10 even rectangular slices.
  • In a large pot combine the broth, herbs, lemon juice, and seasonings. Taste and add any more salt if needed. This will depend on how salty your vegetable broth is.
  • Add the tofu into the pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, and boil for 10 minutes.
  • Carefully, remove the tofu from the pot and coat in breadcrumbs. Because it is wet the breadcrumbs will stick.
  • Place the breaded tofu on a lined baking sheet. Spray with spray oil. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden.
  • Remove the herbs from the broth and add in a cornstarch slurry. The slurry is just the ¼ cup of cornstarch mixed with ½ cup (120ml) of water.
  • Cook on the stove over high heat until boiling, whisking continuously.
  • Once it is thickened, your gravy is complete! Taste and add in any extra seasonings or flavors you like.
  • When the breadcrumbs are golden and the tofu is cooked, it is time to plate up and serve. I like to serve the gravy on the side of the tofu.
