Broiled Tofu
Most people dislike tofu because it has no texture or taste; I love it for that reason. You can adapt the tofu to any flavor or texture. I use it instead of cream, cheese or mayonnaise. As for the texture, I either puree or broil to get different texture. I found that freezing the tofu changes it texture and then, after broiling it firms up so it can be use like cheese slices for sandwich or cubes over salad.12 ounce firm silken tofu
