Scaloppine al vino bianco

Picture is coming soon How it should look like - Now do it better!

One of the things I used to love is "scaloppine" - a dish with lean pork escalopes and a super tasty wine-flavoured sauce. Then I realised I can make exactly the same thing with tofu - equally tasty, because what gives the taste to this dish is the wine sauce, not the "protein" in it. And it's super simple to make: few ingredients and quick process.

Ingredients (2 people)#

  • Tofu: 250-300 gr
  • White wine: 200-250 gr
  • White wheat flour (not strong)
  • Olive oil
  • Salt to taste

Method#

  1. Cut the tofu in slices, they should look squared
  2. Prepare a plate with a bit of flour in it, and rub both sides of each tofu slice in the flour. Press well so that the flour sticks on it
  3. Heat up a couple of TBSP of olive oil in a non-stick pan
  4. Add all the tofu slices in the pan, positioning them carefully one at a time
  5. Fry each side until it starts to stick to the pan
  6. Add the white wine and leave on low flame for 3-5 minutes, watching that the sauce thickens
  7. Sprinkle a bit of salt on top
  8. Once the sauce seems thick enough for you, your meal is ready!

Tips#

You can eat it alongside any vegetables. I usually like it with some salad on the side, or a smashed potatoes purée, which also goes quite nicely with it, as you can mix it up with the wine sauce.
