Total time: 55 min
Yield: 1 loaf
Cuisine: Vegetarian
Ingredients: 1 block of firm tofu, drained and pressed; 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1 small onion, diced; 2 cloves of garlic, minced; 1 medium carrot, grated; 1 stalk of celery, diced; 1 teaspoon dried thyme; 1 teaspoon dried oregano; 1 teaspoon paprika; 1/2 cup breadcrumbs; 2 tablespoons soy sauce; Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan with olive oil to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, crumble the drained tofu using your hands until it resembles a ground meat-like texture. Set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and sauté the diced onion until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, grated carrot, and diced celery to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the dried thyme, oregano, and paprika, cooking for another minute to release the fragrant aroma of the herbs.
Remove the skillet from heat and add the vegetable mixture to the crumbled tofu in the mixing bowl.
Mix in the breadcrumbs, soy sauce, salt, and pepper, incorporating all the ingredients thoroughly.
Transfer the tofu mixture into the greased loaf pan, pressing it down evenly with a spatula.
Bake the Tofu Loaf in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and firm to the touch.
Once done, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
