Pesto Tofu Steaks
Serves 2
These meaty tofu steaks are so satisfying that even ardent carnivores won’t be left pondering, “Where’s the beef?” They are also a great way to get more plant-based protein into a diet, which the new Canada Food Guide now encourages. A herbaceous pesto sauce brightens up the whole dish.
