Yotam Ottolenghi has a recipe for Black Pepper Tofu. I made it many years ago and loved it, although it was pretty spicy. Fast forward many years to present day and I’m walking through the middle aisle of Aldi and I spotted some Tofu. I thought I’d give it another go.
Turns out the middle aisle Aldi Tofu was a bit rubbish. It was too soft and just crumbled in the pan. However, a few weeks later I spotted a new “super Firm Organic Tofu” on the shelf and thought “oi oi”
So I bought the chilli’s and shallots, ensured we had enough black pepper, fired up the frying pan and boom….
It was truly a thing of beauty.
The kids mostly pulled their faces, ate a bit and put the rest in the bin.
Jason Howarth described it as “offensive” and “a fucking abomination”
I’ll maybe use less black pepper next time.
