-------
I think this was the first time the two of us sat at our dining room table and had a real sit down meal with more than one dish. The more typical thing has been to sit at the high table in front of the balcony's sliding glass doors, or on a couch in front of the TV. The new lighting makes the dining room a real option now - you can actually see something in there! - so I surprised him with a full menu. The best thing was that all I needed to get was the bell pepper for the dirty rice; everything else was already in the kitchen.

Tofu cutlets
Date: 2004-01-02 05:32 pm (UTC)Put 1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes in a bowl. (NOT brewers yeast! Get the real thing from a health food store)
Coat one side of the cutlets with Spike™ or other seasoned salt. Place the cutlet seasoned-side down in the yeast; sprinkle the dry top side with more seasoned salt. Flip over and make sure the cutlet is thoroughly coated - the more coating, the more flavor you get.
After you've coated the pieces (you can put them on a plate on wax paper to keep them from sticking), heat some oil (or cooking spray for less fat) in a skillet. Add pieces as they'll fit, cook for a few minutes each side on medium to medium-high heat. Flip, cook the other side, put on a plate and keep warm while you make the next batch.
Serve and enjoy!

I see it used in all these veggie recipes in weird ways, and since regular baker's yeast is the only yeast I know, I sort of substitute that in my head and think, "jeez, how WEIRD" and then I get turned off. As a consequence I never make anything with nutritional yeast. A little de-mystification is in order...
