Baked tofu with spinach cream is a simple and tasty vegetarian recipe, perfect for those seeking a comforting and nutritious dish. Originating from fusion cuisine, it combines the softness of marinated tofu with the creaminess of spinach, creating a balanced texture and flavor. This preparation is ideal for light dinners or healthy lunches, and also works as a main course served with rice or whole-grain bread.
The key is marinating the tofu with garlic, parsley, and olive oil, which gives it an intense flavor that contrasts with the spinach and pine nut cream. The final touch of toasted sesame adds a pleasant crunch. There are variations like adding vegan cheese on top or substituting pine nuts with almonds, but this classic version is the most balanced.
With accessible ingredients and a simple process, this tofu recipe is suitable for beginner cooks who want to experiment with plant-based proteins. The result is an elegant dish that surprises with its flavor and presentation.

Macerate the tofu: dry the block of tofu with kitchen paper. Chop the garlic and parsley. Add the oil. Stir and put the tofu cut into slices of a finger in a bowl with the mixture for an hour. We turn around so that everything is impregnated half macerated.
Prepare the spinach cream: in a pan with a little oil, put the spinach and cover it over low heat. In the glass of milk, put and dissolve the cornstarch. When the spinach comes down, add the pine nuts and add salt to taste. Wait 5 minutes on low heat and add the milk and cornstarch mixture. Stir until it thickens.
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees but gratin. Put the spinach cream in a clay bowl as a base. Marinated tofu on top. On top of that, sesame. We left 20 minutes.
We serve hot. Enjoy it!!!
