This One-pot Marry Me Tofu is made by pan-frying tofu and then simmering it in a flavorful and creamy, sundried tomato sauce. Easy, tasty, and quick, this dish is a vegan version of the ever-so-popular Marry Me Chicken.

Ingredients

  • 1 14-oz package of Extra Firm Tofu
  • 2 tbsp vegan butter (I used Earth Balance)
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp za'atar
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp chili flakes
  • 1/4 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup + 3 TBSP coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup sundried tomatoes
  • 2 TBSP parmesan cheese
  • salt to taste
  • 2 TBSP of fresh parsley to garnish

Directions

  1. 1

    Remove the tofu from the package and drain well. Then cut it into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Add the vegan butter to a large frying pan and toss the tofu pieces in. I had the heat is set at slightly above medium on my gas stove. Let the tofu pan-fry for about 2-4 minutes or until golden brown. Then flip the tofu pieces and let pan-fry on the other side for 2-4 minutes or until golden brown.

  3. 3

    Peel and grate the garlic cloves onto the tofu pieces.

  4. 4

    Roughly chop up the sundried tomato and add it to the pan as well.

  5. 5

    Add the smoked paprika, oregano, za'atar, and chili flakes to the pan and stir well.

  6. 6

    Then add in the vegetable broth and 1/4 cup of the coconut milk and stir well for about 2-3 minutes. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the rest of the coconut milk and stir well.

  7. 7

    Season with salt to taste.

  8. 8

    Add in the parmesan.

  9. 9

    Garnish with chopped parsley and enjoy!
