Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information.

Salad on the menu? Try pairing with Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gruener Veltliner. Sauvignon Blanc and Gruner Veltliner both have herby notes that complement salads with enough acid to match tart vinaigrettes, while a Chardonnay can be a good pick for creamy salad dressings. The Dutton-Goldfield Dutton Ranch Chardonnay with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 43 dollars per bottle.

Dutton-Goldfield Dutton Ranch Chardonnay

2013 was another stellar growing season in the Russian River Valley; warm spring, great flowering weather, and a long moderate ripening season. Our blocks for the Dutton Ranch blend were harvested between September 9 and October 11; the fruit was beautifully clean and ripe, and gave us wines with the acid backbone and luscious citrus and stone fruit flavors we so love from our neighborhood. This wine is about freshness and balance: in the nose it leads with Meyer lemon, pear and mineral notes, with tropical and ginger overtones. In the mouth, the lusciousness of this season is balanced by solid acidity and an evolving fruit core that keeps you coming back. Lemon sourball, ripe pear and a touch of green apple fill out the fruit profile, while the steely minerality and sweet cream add a complexity that we love in this wine. Moderate alcohol and the signature juicy acidity of Green Valley facilitate the fresh, lingering citrus/ginger finish. This is a wine that evolves in the glass and will easily reward 5 years of cellar aging, but both will be a challenge with its immediate allure.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven at 370 degree Fahrenheit. Prepare 2 cookie sheets with a liner/parchment paper.
  2. In one cookie sheet spread the tofu pieces and in another cookie sheet spread the hazelnuts.
  3. Put the cookie sheets in the oven and bake. Bake hazelnuts for 5-7 minutes and tofu for 20 minutes.
  4. In the meantime combine water and squash in a saucepan. Cover and boil for 5 minutes or until the squash pieces are soft.
  5. When the squash is boiled let it cool for a while and grind into a smooth paste.
  6. In a bowl combine salt, black pepper, rosemary, lemon juice and squash puree and keep it aside.
  7. When the hazelnuts are done take it out of the oven and let the tofu cook in the same oven. Let the nuts cool and rub gently between palms or with paper towel to remove the skin.
  8. Once the tofu is cooked for 20 minutes or until very light golden brown in color take it out from the oven.
  9. In salad bowl combine all the ingredients and mix gently so that the tofu retains its shape.
  10. Garnish with more hazelnuts and/or rosemary and serve immediately.
  11. This salad tastes great when warm but can be served at room temperature also.
