Also, less oil in the pan so that what you're trying to fry isn't tempted to break apart in the excess oil.

I've had this problem with other foods I've tried to fry, though, so I think maybe the oil isn't getting hot enough? I dunno.

Thanks for sharing! <br /><br />So for our Canadian Thanksgiving, I made both you tofu loaf (with the gravy) and sweet potatoes. All were delicious! <br /><br />For the tofu loaf, it ended up making 2 loaves, so in the future I may cut the recipe in half. I also doubled the amount of wine, balsamic vinegar, and dijon and that made it quite tasty. Next time I think I'll try adding some sort of nut for texture - thinking walnuts or almonds, and also some earthy tasting mushrooms. It was very nice though to have such a tasty tofu for our Thanksgiving dinner, so thank-you so much for sharing your ideas :)<br /><br />LaurieLaurie McCormicknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5639051100951626074.post-3575785107906672342010-10-05T07:14:23.045-07:002010-10-05T07:14:23.045-07:00Hi Sarah,

It looked fantastic, and I was delighted to find you'd kindly posted the recipe, especially as Thanksgiving is in less than a week here in Canada.<br />When you say "blocks" of tofu, what size do you mean? I ask because most American cookbooks seem to call for 1lb blocks, but I can't get those here, so I have to measure by weight. <br />Thank you so much!Denisenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5639051100951626074.post-18090319169988068392010-10-04T16:00:50.883-07:002010-10-04T16:00:50.883-07:00Thank you for posting your recipes from the Food N...Thank you for posting your recipes from the Food Network Challenge Family Thanksgiving Feast. We are from Canada, so our Thanksgiving is early, this weekend actually. I searched through google after the show and found your recipe and your blog! I can't wait to make the "I can't beleive its not Turkey Tofu loaf". My daughter is vegetarian and I have been searching for just the right thing. After the show I knew this was it. I hope I can make it as good as it looked on tv. Wish me luck.<br />Hugs<br />ShelleyShelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07362984115890361525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5639051100951626074.post-48422036870819720232010-10-04T15:19:41.840-07:002010-10-04T15:19:41.840-07:00I agree.

Its a great magazine where they try and figure out how to make a recipe and then the science of why it works. So this one was on Tuscan bean stew with cannellini beans, which is what I am relating to your post. They are trying to figure out how to make the inside of the bean creamy (not mealy) and the outside soft and for it not the burst and fall apart. So they figured out that if they soak the bean in salt water (3 tablespoons of salt in 4 quarts cold water to 1 pound of beans) overnight then the outside has softer skins than if they soaked them in regular water (because the sodium is replacing some of the calcium and magnesium ions in the bean skins)-so this is brining the beans, I has no idea. But then later when actually cooking the beans they don't use salt water, so not much salt enters the beans and so they don't get mealy. (they have a reason for that too, but this is getting long), (but if you want to know it's probably easy to find). and then last to get the beans to not explode while cooking they cook them until just simmering on the stove, and then put them in a 250 degree oven and cook them that way until they are done. I am totally trying this tomorrow-the whole soup, not just the beans, so hopefully all of this will lead to a good bean soup. I wanted to post the link to the recipe, but you have to give them a lot of personal information to and only get 2 weeks on the site, but I put in cooksillustrated and hearty tuscan bean soup in google and it brought me up to the site.chrissy teetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027312960723751877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5639051100951626074.post-58905546484328963252010-04-06T21:25:15.825-07:002010-04-06T21:25:15.825-07:00Yay!!! :) I'm looking forward to seeing what ...Yay!!! :) I'm looking forward to seeing what you think of the taste.
