Instructions
- Cut potatoes into 1-inch pieces.
- Add potatoes, 2 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1 inch) to a medium pot (use same for 4 ppl).
- Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-high. Simmer uncovered until potatoes are fork-tender, 10-12 min.
- Drain and return to the same pot, off heat.
- Meanwhile, heat a large pot over medium heat.
- While the pot heats, peel, then cut half the onion (whole onion for 4 ppl) into 1/4-inch slices.
- When the pot is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then swirl the pot until melted.
- Add onions. Cook, stirring often, until softened, 2-3 min.
- Add cabbage, vinegar, brown sugar and 1/2 cup (3/4 cup) water, then season with salt and pepper. Cover and bring to a simmer.
- Once simmering, cook, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is tender-crisp, 13-15 min.
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
- While the pan heats, pat tofu dry with paper towels. Cut tofu in half parallel to the cutting board. (NOTE: You will have two square tofu steaks per block.) Season with salt and half the Pastrami Spice Blend (use all for 4 ppl).
- When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then tofu. Pan fry until golden, 2-3 min per side. Transfer tofu to a plate. Cover to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, peel, then coarsely grate apple.
- Roughly chop parsley.
- Roughly mash creamy horseradish sauce and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter into potatoes until slightly mashed. (NOTE: 'Smashed' potatoes will still have a few chunks!)
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- When cabbage has braised for 8-10 min, stir in grated apple.
- Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender, 5-6 min. (TIP: If water reduces too quickly, add 2 tbsp water at a time to prevent sticking.)
- Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then stir until melted. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Thinly slice tofu.
- Divide braised cabbage and smashed potatoes between plates.
- Arrange tofu over potatoes.
- Sprinkle parsley over top.
If you've opted to get tofu, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Pat tofu dry with paper towels. Cut tofu in half parallel to the cutting board. (NOTE: You will have two square tofu steaks per block.) Season tofu in the same way the recipe instructs you to season the chicken breasts. When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then tofu. Pan fry until golden, 2-3 min per side. Transfer tofu to a plate. Cover to keep warm. No need to bake the tofu after pan-frying.
