Ingredients
- 10 ounces vacuum packed super firm tofu*
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 ½ teaspoons tamari
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- Few grinds of black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Cut the tofu into about 4 even slices. Cut those slices into Adipose shapes with two legs, arms, and rounded head.

- Remove from oven, and flip the tofu slices. Pour lemon juice into the dish. Grind black pepper evenly over the slices. Bake the tofu for 20 more minutes.
- Remove the tofu from oven. Move to a serving plate or on top of bowtie pasta salad.
- Top each Adipose tofu slice with 2 capers for eyes and a kalamata slice mouth.
Notes
*If you don't have access to vacuum packed tofu, use water packed tofu instead. Drain and press a 14 ounce block of tofu, and it will get you to the right size. Here's more info on how to press tofu.
