Tofu Fajitas

Here we have Tuesday night's dinner - Tofu Fajitas from cool food once again. The recipe looked interesting so I thought I'd give it a go. There are a few componants to the dish.

1) Tofu - in the pic they look like fish sticks. These are marinated in a mixture of crushed garlic, soy sauce and black pepper. They they are fried in a little oil until crisp and placed on some paper towel to prevent sogginess.

2) Tomato relish - the recipe calls for tinned tomatoes but we had the equivalent in fresh, slightly soft ones which I used instead. I diced these with a small red chilli (seeds removed and chopped finely) and 1/2 a large onion diced. These were blitzed in the food processor until reasonably smooth. Season and transfer to stove, bringing to the boiling and then simmering for 10 mins or so.

3) Guac - 2 avos, a couple of spoonfuls of leben, a good squeeze of lemon and a large pinch of salt & mash together.

4) Vegies - slice some yellow capsicum and spring onion (from our garden - very easy to grow).

Assembly: While the book recommends 15cm tortillas, the best I could find was 30cm flatbread/pita. I placed fillings down the centre and wrapped it like a burrito.

It was extremely filling - possibly because there was twice the amount of bread than what was called for. A really flavoursome, enjoyable meal.

Note: We use leben - an unflavoured natural yoghurt in place of sour cream in most recipes. It has a nice zing and doesn't taste too rich.
