Thoughts/Notes:

Remember to strain the mushroom liquid before using it. It is great to mix into the marinade and also use for later on in the cooking to add some moisture and flavour to the stuffing mixture.

Try to use any remaining liquid the next day.

I recommend marinating the tofu overnight for maximum flavour. Remember to press out any extra liquid beforehand.

The fresh mint adds a jazzy touch, and the vibrant cranberries add life to the plate.💃🏻 However, feel free to do what suits you. You may even have some spare energy to make some cranberry sauce.

The Greektown spice blend I thought would just add a little more contrast to the sweet lemon glaze. Similarly with adding any garlic powder. The raw sugar provides the sticky glaze I was aiming for. Feel free to experiment with maple syrup.

This recipe was something that just came to my mind while pondering what I should make. Knowing there was a block of firm tofu waiting for me in the fridge, I wanted to make a fall themed recipe. Squash, wild mushrooms, and cranberries were perfect elements to add. Of course the glaze embraces the flavours nicely.

Feel free to get creative and put your own spin on this autumn tofu delight!
