Dense Chewy Tofu & Cutlets with Cranberry Sauce

In the recipe Dense, Chewy Tofu (page 207) the technique is the recipe. It is a method for preparing tofu that makes a big difference in the texture. Tofu has a texture that is often a problem for people who are trying it for the first time. This makes tofu chewy and easier to cook because you drain it and press all the water out. I now do this to any tofu I make.

Cutlets with Cranberry Sauce (page 209 and 210) is a terrific vegan dinner option. It's very simple and the bread crumbs add a nice crunch to the tofu cutlets. I served it with braised kale and parsnips.
