Tofu ham


 I like this. I wanted to give this a try and it is good served with mushroom gravy. It is a tad on the sweet side. I found the recipe here:

INGREDIENTS

750 gram extra firm tofu two blocks, pressed for 20 minutes (I just used one block )

12 cloves or more to taste

MARINADE

1/4 cup soy sauce tamari if gf
1 T Dijon mustard
2 T maple syrup
1 T apple cider vinegar
1 tsp paprika
3 cloves garlic minced
1 orange zest only (I just used a tablespoon of OJ

Glaze

1/4 cups maple syrup
4 T water
1 T molasses
2 T Dijon mustard
1 tsp cinnamon 
1 T balsamic glaze (I subbed 2 tsp balsamic vinegar)
1 orange same one you zested, juiced (I used 1/4 cup OJ)

Go to link for directions. https://plantyou.com/vegan-ham-recipe/
You cut each block in 1/2 horizontally and then marinated them. I marinated mine overnight-- cook at 375 for 20 minutes then put the glaze on for last 20  minutes for a total of 40 minutes. The glaze is cooked on stove top while the first 20 minutes of cooking the  tofu is occurring then spread over the tofu for last 20.
