For this easy seared Tofu recipe, you will need extra firm tofu.



INGREDIENTS:
14oz block of firm or extra firm tofu (drained weight = 4oz)
2 Tbs Rick’s Rub Fish & Seafood seasoning
2 Tbs olive or grapeseed oil
 
Prep for tofu:
  1. Slice open the package and drain out the water. Cut the block of tofu width-wise into eight ½” thick slices
  2. Lay a dish towel on a cookie sheet or tray; place paper towel on top of the dish towel.
  3. Spread the slices of tofu out in a single layer on the towels. Put more paper towel and another dish towel on top.
  4. Set another cookie sheet on top and set heavy objects on top, such as canned goods, cook books, etc.
  5. Leave the tofu for at least 30 mins to allow as much water out of the spongy tofu as possible. This will allow other flavours into the tofu!
  6. Once the tofu has released most of the water, you are ready to proceed with the recipe!
 
METHOD:
  1. Place drained tofu slices in a shallow dish
  2. Rub tofu with Rick’s Rub Fish & Seafood seasoning. Let sit for 10 mins
  3. Add oil to a large, preheated non-stick skillet and allow the oil to get hot, about 1 min
  4. Add seasoned tofu to the pan and sear for 1 to 2 mins or until golden brown. Flip tofu and repeat on other side.
NOTE: ensure tofu slices are dry when adding to the skillet, as wet tofu does not sear well
Serve with side green salad
Serves 2


SEARED SCALLOPS WITH RICK'S RUB FISH AND SEAFOOD

11/27/2015

Chef Rick
 
For this easy seared scallop dinner, ask your local fish monger for Large Sea Scallops
 


INGREDIENTS:
1lb Large Sea Scallops
2 Tbs Rick’s Rub Fish & Seafood seasoning
1 Tbs butter
1 tsp olive oil
 
METHOD:
  1. Remove the tough abductor muscle from the side of each scallop (some scallops are sold with the muscle already removed). If you feel any grit on the scallops, rinse them under cold water. Pat scallops dry with paper towels, as the surface moisture impedes browning
  2. Gently rub the scallops with Rick’s Rub Fish & Seafood seasoning until evenly coated. Let stand for 10 mins
  3. Heat a 10- or 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat for 1 to 2 mins
  4. Add butter and olive oil to hot pan. Place scallops in pan and let sear until brown and crisp, about 2 to 4 mins. NOTE: make sure to not overcrowd the pan, as this will cause the scallops to poach, not sear
  5. Turn scallops and let sear another 2 to 4 mins or until browned. Remove from heat and serve immediately
 
Serve with fresh green salad and boiled new potatoes
Serves 3
