Health benefits of Tofu Marsala Recipe | Myrecipes

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

2 cups Garden Brown Sauce
1/2 cup sweet Marsala, divided
2 (12.3-ounce) packages extra-firm tofu, drained
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup minced green onions
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
4 cups hot cooked linguine (about 8 ounces uncooked pasta)
Chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

Combine Garden Brown Sauce and 1/4 cup Marsala in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from heat; keep warm.
Slice tofu lengthwise into 8 (1/2-inch-thick) steaks. Dredge in flour. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of tofu; sauté 2 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove from pan; keep warm. Repeat procedure with 1 teaspoon oil and remaining tofu. Stir in 1/4 cup Marsala and juice, scraping pan to loosen brown bits. Stir in brown sauce mixture, onions, and 2 tablespoons parsley.
