Tofu Rockefeller with Potatoes and Carrots
Ingredients:

1 block extra firm tofu (in water)
Vegan cream cheese
250g baby spinach
Vegan pork seasoning blend (sage, onion, thyme)
2 cloves garlic
1 lemon, zested and juiced
6-8 large red potatoes, cut into large cubes
3 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch cubes
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Olive oil (as needed)
Panko breadcrumbs
Instructions:

Prepare Potatoes and Carrots:

Scrub the red potatoes and cut them into large cubes, leaving the skin on.
Scrub the carrots, leaving the skin on, and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Add both the potatoes and carrots to a pot of water on low heat. Boil until softened, then drain and set aside.
Prepare Tofu:

Drain the tofu and press out any excess water.
Slice the tofu block in half to create two large portions.
Heat a large cast iron pan and add a little oil. Sear the tofu on both sides until golden brown.
Sprinkle the tofu with the vegan pork seasoning (sage, onion, thyme).
Cook Spinach:

In the same pan, add a bit more oil and sauté the baby spinach until wilted.
Drain any excess liquid from the spinach and set aside.
Prepare the Garlic-Lemon Mixture:

Finely mince the garlic cloves and zest the lemon.
Mash the garlic and lemon zest together into a paste.
Add the lemon juice to the paste.
Make the Spinach-Cream Cheese Mixture:

In a bowl, mix the wilted spinach, garlic-lemon paste, and vegan cream cheese together. Season with black pepper to taste.
Spread the mixture evenly over the top of each tofu slice.
Panko Topping:

In a separate bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, black pepper, a pinch of salt, and a drizzle of olive oil. Mix well.
Sprinkle the panko mixture over the tofu and spinach.
Roast and Serve:

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Place the tofu and vegetables on a baking tray.
Toss the boiled potatoes and carrots with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and a bit of the vegan pork seasoning.
Roast everything in the oven until the panko on the tofu is golden brown and the vegetables are crispy, about 15-20 minutes.
Serve the tofu with the roasted potatoes and carrots for a hearty, plant-based meal.
