This vegan and gluten-free tofu piccata recipe offers a delicious twist on the classic dish. Crispy tofu cutlets are smothered in a tangy lemon-caper sauce, creating a satisfying and flavorful meal.
Ingredients: 1 block extra firm tofu, pressed and sliced into thin cutlets. 1/4 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour. 1/4 cup nutritional yeast. Salt and pepper to taste. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1/2 cup vegetable broth. 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice. 2 tablespoons capers, drained. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley.
Instructions: In a shallow dish, mix together the gluten-free flour, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper. Coat each tofu cutlet in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cutlets and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and saut for 1-2 minutes. Pour in vegetable broth and lemon juice, and bring to a simmer. Stir in capers and cook for another 2 minutes. Return the tofu cutlets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
