Tofu

[Corkdarrr]

I am beginning to reintroduce things after my elimination diet and the first thing I've chosen to reintroduce is soy. Why? Because I had a gluten-free, CF chocoalte bar that had soy lechitin in it. YUM.

Anyways, the purest form of soy I can think of to use for reintroduction is tofu and I'm not really sure what to do with it. I made a stir fry last nite, but I've been eating stirfry for pretty much the last month straight. Needless to say, I'm getting pretty sick of stirfry.

Anyone have any ideas of how to use tofu or some other type of food that consists of a substanial amount of soy? I thought of soy beans, but I don't know what to eat them with.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I'm also desperately seeking a recipe for gluten-free/CF tofu cheesecake. It must be dairy free. Does anyone have such a recipe?

Before i was diagnosed w/ celiac disease, I thought I had IBS. There is a great message board w/ TONS of recipes, and I found lots of good tofu recipes there. I would just do a search for what it is you want.

I am wondering about soy protein powder to test out soy for you, if you can find a brand that doesn't have a lot of added extra things in it, and then make a smoothie with it- or have you not added fruit back in yet?

I have a recipe from a vegan cookbook......newstart lifestyle cookbook by weimar institute. Please double check ingredients.....they look ok though.

Tofu "cheesecake"

1 1/2 cups r w knudsen coconut nectar

3 tablespoons emes kosher gel

3/4 cup apple juice concentrate

3/4 cup firm tofu

1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 teaspoons grated lemon peel

3/4 teaspoon grated orange peel

1/2 teaspoon coconut extract (opt.)

pinch salt

Sprinkle Emes Jel over coconut nectar in a saucepan. Heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin is dissolved. Process in a blender with remaining ingredients, except last 2, until smooth. Pour into a bowl and refrigerate. When firm, blend again until smooth and creamy. Pour into crust and refrigerate until firm. Serve with "cheesecake" topping.

Variations: (1) Substitute ambrosia or pineapple-coconut juice for coconut nectar; (2) Omit emes jel and use filling as a sauce or topping.

Berry "cheesecake" topping.

3/4 cup fruit juice concetrate, such as raspberry-apple

1/2 cup water

4 teaspoons cornstarch or arrowroot

1/2 cup fresh or frozen berries

Place juice concentrate in a saucepan. Dissolve cornstarch in water and stir into juice. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until thickened and clear. Remove from heat and add berries, if desired. When cool, pour over "cheesecake". Garnish and serve.

Pineapple "cheesecake" topping.

20 ounce can crushed, unsweetened pineapple

1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot

1 tablespoon grated orange peel

Drain pineapple and pour juice into a saucepan. Dissolve cornstarch in juice, then add pineapple. Heat on medium setting, stirring constantly, until bubbly and thickened. When cool, add orange peel and spread over "cheesecake."

I obviously can't copy over the crust as it has gluten in it. There is a recipe thread about crusts floating arorund that is pretty recent.
