Instructions

Make almond pralines
1
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-low heat.
  • When hot, add almonds, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) sugar and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) water to the dry pan.
  • Toast, stirring often, until almonds are golden-brown and coated in caramel glaze, 3-4 min.
  • Carefully arrange almond pralines on a plate in a single layer. (NOTE: Be careful; caramel will be hot! Do not touch pralines until cool.)
  • Sprinkle a pinch of salt over top.
Cook tofu
2
  • Meanwhile, pat tofu dry with paper towels.
  • Cut in half, parallel to the cutting board. (NOTE: You will have 2 square tofu "steaks" per block.)
  • Season with garlic salt and pepper.
  • When almond pralines are done, reheat the same pan over medium.
  • When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then tofu.
  • Pan fry until golden, 2-3 min per side.
Prep and make vinaigrette
3
  • While tofu cooks, core, then cut apple into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Add vinegar, blueberry jam, mustard, 1 tsp (2 tsp) water and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) oil to a small bowl.
  • Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then whisk to combine.
