Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pound tofu -- (4 cakes)
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic -- crushed
1 medium onion -- diced
1/2 cup grapefruit juice -- *
2 tablespoons lemon rind
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 medium green (or red) bell pepper -- diced
1 1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms

* Original recipe called for 1/4 cup grapefruit juice. I needed at least twice
that amount.

Cut the tofu into 1" squares.
[I made block about 1"x1"x1/2", then cut across the square side on the diagonal
to make triangles.]
Place the flour on a flat plate [or casserole].
Dredge the tofu squares in the flour so that each square is fully covered.

Melt the butter and oil in a skillet and lightly saute the onion and garlic for
5 min.
Add the floured tofu squares and continue to saute over medium heat until the
tofu is brown on all sides (12-15 min).

Add grapefruit juice, lemon rind, cayenne, honey, and salt; mix well.
Cover and let cook over low to medium heat for 10 min.

After 10 min, add the bell pepper and mushrooms.
Simmer, covered, another 10 min.

[To save time, I condensed these last two steps into one 10-min, covered simmer
.
It worked fine.]
