I LOVE TOFU (silken, soft, firm, extra firm).
It's great in curries as a substitute for meats! (Thai curries, Indian curries or Japanese curry)
Slicing it (firm type) and sauteing with carrots, celery, onions, garlic, ginger then seasoning with some light soy sauce and sprinkling with some fresh scallions is delicious too!
I've been known to stuff peppers or make "lasagna" with mashed up silkin tofu mixed with low-fat ricotta and other vegetables. It's a great binder but definitely drain as much water out of it as possible (paper towels pressed with something heavy).
