Ingredients[]
- 1 lb firm tofu
- 1/3 cup nutritional yeast with salt, pepper, and paprika added to taste
- oil
- 1 lb new potatoes
- 1 good-sized sweet potato or yam (6-8 inches long)
- 1 mild tasting Apple (Golden Delicious is good), sliced or chopped
- 4 eggs, hard cooked, sliced
- 1/2 cup green peas, cooked until still slightly firm
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 can asparagus tips
- 3/4 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tbl dill weed
- vinegar
- mustard
- "Durkee's special sauce"
Directions[]
- Cut tofu into 1" squares, 1/2" thick. Coat with nutritional yeast.
- Fry in oil over medium heat until golden brown and slightly chewy.
- Drain on paper towels.
- Cut potatoes and sweet potatoes into 1" cubes. Boil until tender.
- Drain.
- Mix together tofu, potatoes, Apple, 3 of the eggs, Peas, and Onion.
- Add enough Mayonnaise to make it creamy or to taste. Add dill weed, fresh if possible. Add enough vinegar, prepared mustard, or Durkee's Sauce (basically a mustard-vinegar sauce) to give it a tang.
- Garnish with additional egg and asparagus spears. Sprinkle with paprika for beauty.
- Variations and substitutions:
Broil the tofu to reduce fat. It won't have a nicy chewy texture, though. Substitute Chicken for the tofu (as in the original recipe).
- Substitute plain, non-fat yogurt for some of the Mayonnaise to reduce fat content.
