its yam :) I added boiled diced potatoe and some lemon ... hmmmm -
I thought it was easy and yummy. My husband ate it but asked me not to make it again. -
Very good! This was my first time cooking with tofu and it was a good starter for me. I pureed the onion in my food processor as I am not a fan of chunky pieces of onion, it turned out very well. I also added 2 chopped hard boiled eggs which takes away the vegan aspect but it added what I thought it needed. Also I used 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne instead of the cumin, if you don't like too much spice I would stick to 1/4 teaspoon. Overall it was very good especially hot with melted cheddar in pita =]

My family of three really enjoyed this last night; I was fairly surprised that my 13yo DS ate it at all, but he gobbled it right up. We ate it over mixed spring greens, but I'm sure it would make a really nice pita sandwich too! I think next time, I'd chill the mixture to let the flavors mingle.

very tasty way to prepare tofu. was very fast, i pan fried in olive oil for a nice flavour. i think i would use red onion next time for not such a sour flavour. can't wait to make again!

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
