 Categories: Vegetarian, Tofu
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
     16 oz Extra-firm tofu; drained,
           - cut horizonally into
           - four 3/4" slices
    1/2 c  Basil pesto
           Salt
           Black pepper; freshly ground
  1 1/2 c  Summertime Tomato Sauce
      1 tb Olive oil
      2 sm Red bell peppers; roasted,
           - cut into strips,
           - for garnish

  Cut a slit in the side of each tofu slice and stuff 1 tb pesto into
  each pocket. Season to taste with salt & pepper and set aside.
  
  Heat the tomato sauce in a small saucepan over low heat and keep warm.
  
  Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu
  and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Reduce the
  heat to low and keep warm.
  
  In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup pesto with 1 to 2 tb
  water, blending well.
  
  To serve, spoon a small amount of the warm tomato sauce on 4
  individual plates. Top with a tofu steak. Drizzle 1 tb of the diluted
  pesto over 1/3rd of each tofu slice. Spoon a small amount of the
  tomato sauce over another 3rd and leave the remaining portion
  unsauced. Garnish with the roasted red pepper strips and basil leaves.
