FULL RECIPE
“Meat Lovers” Roast Tofu & Veg [Meal Prep]
Serves - 4
Preparation time - less than 30 minutes
Ingredients:
1 block of tofu (extra firm), sliced in half
4 cups prepared brown rice
1 cup BBQ Sauce
3 tri-colored bell peppers, cleaned, seeds removed, large diced
½ large onion, cleaned, large diced
300g chestnut mushrooms, sliced in half
200g spinach (1 package)
Handful of fresh coriander, or parsley
3 tbsp ‘pork’ seasoning blend (sage & onion)
Black pepper
Salt, kosher or sea salt flakes
½ tsp granulated garlic
Sunflower oil
Directions:
Preheat oven 200c (fan) / 375f convection or 400f bake
Place half cut tofu into a large bowl and massage tofu with 1 tsp of oil to coat each piece.
Add ‘pork’ type seasoning, salt-n-pepper, granulated garlic and gently toss to cover tofu with seasoning all over.
Heat cast-iron pan on medium heat until wicked hot. Add about 2 - 3 tbsp of oil.
Add tofu and sear on each side 2-3 minutes until golden crispy brown all over.
Remove from skillet and place on parchment paper lined baking sheet pan.
In the same hot pan, add mushroom halves face down, drizzle oil and swirl to coat.
Sear for 2 minutes to brown, before stirring. Press with 2nd pan (optional). Remove from skillet. Arrange on baking sheet with tofu.
Place cubed bell peppers and onion into large bowl, add little oil, pinch of granulated garlic, salt and pepper and lightly toss to cover evenly.
Add to hot skillet. Sear peppers and onions for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pressing the peppers and onion is optional to add more even browning. Remove from pan and arrange on baking sheet with tofu.
Place baking sheet with everything in the oven and roast for 10-15 minutes.
Remove from oven when done, allow to cool for few minutes before slicing tofu.
In the hot skillet, add baby spinach and stir until wilted, roughly 1 minute. Remove from heat.
In a separate pot or container, warm the BBQ sauce, or your favorite sauce.
Plate 1-2 meals for now and pre-pack meal prep for later.
Remember to reuse plastic takeaway boxes, or glass containers when available.
Every little helps to reduce and reuse plastics is important!

Of course another great video but I am in love with the person responsible for the clip of the kitten washing its paws when Derek said “I’m going to wash my hands” 😂
Best unexpected segue clip ever. I was overwhelmed with cuteness!!!
Thank you so much for advocating for the animals!!
Advocating for animals is our greatest pleasure and such a huge part of our mission. Animal Welfare + Human Health + Protecting our Planet!! 💚💚💚
@@DerekSarnoChef, ❤❤❤❤❤
Hey everyone! Please note that the other recipes referenced in this episode are coming soon! We'll be releasing new episodes regularly, so stay tuned. Thanks for watching!
Wow brilliant videos!
Thanks, Miriam!!
This was very helpful! I been a pescatarian for a few months but now I’m a vegetarian... soon vegan✨🙌🏽
@Kacey Balseca You got this! Most of us have grown up eating a diet that we didn’t choose, and whatever your path to eating less animals is, we support you!!
Kacey Balseca that is exactly the path that I took. Last thing to go was dairy and eggs. Best thing I’ve ever done. When you make the final switch, you will feel soooooooo freed. That said, I do believe that perfection should not be the enemy of good. All or something is better than all or nothing. That said, fully vegan is truly the best for me. ❤️🌱❤️ bless you.
@@DerekSarnoChef I loved this video & just subscribed. I know it was made a yr ago, but better late than never!! I saw you on Monomi' channel.
I found Derek Sarno's meals from Tesco very delicious. I turned the box to read the ingredients, saw his name and was happy to find his receipts and youtube channel. I am vegetarian for more than 30 years but would like to become vegan and these receipts are very helpful.
This may be 5 yrs ago but so great for today. Getting some really great ideas for my meal prep. Thanks for sharing your talents and creations with all of us.
Seriously, this is such an awesome meal prep idea
I made this last night (with some modifications based on what I had on hand). I’ve never been a fan of mushrooms and usually chop them small to “hide” them. My husband and I fought over who got the most mushrooms 💕 I froze, thawed, and pressed my extra firm tofu based on recs from CheapLazyVegan. It def improved the texture of the tofu in a recipe like this. Thank you for all the fantastic recipes y’all have done!
I have never known anyone who is as much of a mushroom lover as I but Derek and Gaz Oakley come close! Thank you for your videos.
I’m newer to the world of veganism and these videos have me excited to be changing!
Hooray, Denise! You've got this!! Glad the videos are helping!
This series is off to a great start! This is the best time to be a vegan 🤩 This video was very reminiscent of cooking shows on Food Network but now without the animal products, yay! 🥰
lol at Lancashire 😂 This entire video was so entertaining to watch! I enjoy all your commentary!
Thanks, Annaliese! We are so happy to be able to share some of our skills and recipes to help more people cook #freefromanimals! Hey, Food Network 😉
I've apparently reached that magic age (whatever that is) when I no longer wish to eat animals. The magic, chemistry, and artistry of vegan/vegetarian cooking is like a new drug. Thank you Derek, I'm in!
I’m glad I’m not the only freak who takes the white part out of the peppers. I’m in great company! Looks delicious.
I just found your channel and OMG!!! Your recipes are totally my jam! Keep up the good work, brother! No one needs to eat animals with food like this!!
Exactly, Aaron! We are so happy to have you over on our channel now!! More wicked recipes and videos coming every week, so stay tuned!
Made this for dinner tonight and it was a hit! My family and I have never before made a tofu dish we enjoyed. This was a feast for the eyes and our palates. This is the second of your recipes I've made. The first was the BBQ pulled mushrooms - so delicious we had beat back the carnivores. Thanks so much for sharing!!
Amazing, thanks letting us know and for watching!
I ran across your videos while on my 3 month plant base journey. And, I must say that I’m totally impressed with your cooking skills and presentation. I’m definitely trying this recipe for Sunday’s dinner. I never ate mushrooms as a child or young adult, but now I eat them all the time; they’re so delicious and versatile. Btw, I’ll also be purchasing your cookbook. I think I saw your cookbook being displayed in the background. Thanks for sharing your creativity Chef Derek!☺️👍🏽☺️
Thank you for watching!
My new favorite vegan silver fox lol
Love your videos and love finding communities of people like me who believe in animal rights and living vegan! ❤
Ramsay is fired
LOL
I just made this meal tonight. It was delicious 😋. Thank you for another great recipe.
Veganism is extremely mentally satisfying. You know you've paid for the death of something that feels pain. That's if, you know...And that's not what i want to leave this world knowing. Sentience is real. Great video, dish. Always a pleasure to watch.
Very wise words, Allan, and thank you for sharing! Big love to you and we appreciate your support and kindness!
@@DerekSarnoChef Thank you, too. Great personality and to your comparisons with instead of using a dead animal, the true flavor comes from mother nature.The same thing animals live off of. Animals manufactured by man is not natural. They're placed in a hell before becoming food. Thanks for your great work.
Allan khad AGREED !!!!!
Allan khad AWE......yur sooooo awesome !!!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Allan khad D I T T O !!!!!
this is hands down the best recipe ever. especially for a meal prep, THANK YOU!
Let me guess, you've just starting cooking?
I made this dish on this last Sunday and it was delicious. Thanks for showing how to make this dish.
Here in New England when we mean something is very, we say something is ‘wicked’. This guy is wicked funny!
My kids eat the center of the bell peppers!! I have the least picky children. Being vegan is the best! 😁
watched with my 8 y.o. - we both loved it! thank you!
Love knowing that the young folks are watching along with you! Understanding where your food comes from and how to cook are such important things to teach early. Thanks for watching!
I’m definitely trying this! Looks so good
Loved this video!! So excited to see more of this series. Would love to see more meal prep ideas as well :)
Thanks, Lauren! We'll definitely be doing more meal prep recipes and we will be releasing another video...today!!
Thank you so much for your amazing food and your heart of gold, what a great inspiring message to start a video
Thank you so much!
I’ve ended up with pancreatitis every time I’ve eaten meat or meat products since I was 13 so it awesome that you have this amazing channel to give myself and all new vegan great ideas for cooking. Thanks heaps
Yay! Love this cant wait for more 👍🏻
Thanks, Christina! We'll keep 'em coming...thanks for watching!!
Derek, you really killed it with this one. Thank you so much for this! Apart from the delicious recipe, I particularly liked the way you distributed the meal in the food containers. I'll definitely steal that idea. Cheers and stay safe! Much love, Sebastian.
You think that was good you need to check out bento boxes! They'll blow your mind!
Can I just say Thank You!!! I made the deep fried tofu from the BBQ meal prep video. Omg! Just incredible...came out just like you said! The tip about cooking them all together at the end in all the oil at the bottom of the pan is genius! Staple recipe!!!!🙏🙏🙏
Awesome!! It's great to hear these sort of comments and happy that it was a hit!!
I’m still relatively new to vegan cooking. Have not tried the tofu yet. Just bought some. I too love cooking in cast iron with the rainbow peppers. 😋
You can do it! Glad to have you on the channel and we're here to support you with some easy recipes and techniques for vegan cooking!
🤣🤣 Love how you ran to Tesco to get some cilantro and your food was still piping hot when you got back 🤣🤣. Gorgeous meal. Looks delicious. TFS❤️
He's actually The Flash in disguise.
I don't like mushroom but I know they are super healthy and help prevent cancer, and the way you made these look makes me want to try this. Yum!
We hear comments like this a lot-many people feel the same and have mixed feelings about eating mushrooms. But I promise you, if you try them the way we show you in this video and some of our other ones (especially the Pulled "Pork" Sandwich, "Chicken" Noodle Soup, and BBQ Mushroom Steaks), you'll have a completely different opinion about mushrooms!
I love this guy and I love this series. Great idea on how to cook tofu. Cannot wait.
I've recently become vegetarian again and in the process of becoming fully vegan Wicked kitchen (along with 2 other channels) are a huge help for recipe ideas and just overall motivation
Love your recipes! And I’m also proud of being a Vegan 🌱🌹♥️
I wish I can give you a million likes!!!👍♥️🌹
Thanks a MILLION!!
This looks delicious and mostly healthy (sans oil). I've been plant-based for years and still look for great ideas and channels such as yours. Thank you! I may try it with a peanut-ginger sauce tonight!
I made a version of this tonight. Used Montreal Steak Spice.. think I’ll use a finer grain seasoning next time, or grind this one down more... but wow, super simple, and more healthy than most takeout. Hella cheaper too! And now I have 2 more meals! Yaaasssss.
The way you teach cooking mushrooms, the cast iron press method... LIFE CHANGING. I made some Crimini and they were amazing with the tofu. Thank you!!! Love your channel
Each one of your videos is not only informative and easy for those of us who 'try' to cook lol but the funny bits have us in stitches!! :-D Thanks guys. You're the best!!
OMFG the gravy/shrimp/nut montage cracked me upppppp >_
Made this tonight, cooked right along with you. 4 meals under $13! I subbed aquafaba for oil on the tofu and used a non stick pan. Delicious!
Wicked Healthy I’m glad it wasn’t Worcestershire then 😂 love your channel, love your recipes and love your influence on Tesco, great work ❤️
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SAYING THAT!! Comments like this keep us going!!
Wicked Healthy no worries! It’s the truth ;)
Looks so good! I love letting my tofu sit in a marinade of vegan bouillon and spices. You can flavor your tofu to taste like anything! I love it!
looks so wonderfully delicious!
wow, there are a bunch of videos that i'd missed, glad i caught this! are you still blogging too? i've been ''out of town'' for a while and missed so much!
Hey Kokoro! Our blog is still going! Check it out on our new website: www.wickedhealthyfood.com Thanks for supporting!
I love your recipes/videos! Oh and……you had me when the cat was cleaning her paws! Meow!
Glad you like them! Thank you.
That looks so delicious, I always cook extra meals.
I know in some of your or Chad's videos you mention an "oil free" option. LOVE your videos. Just wish you'd show more with the oil-free option!!! Thank you for doing these!!!!
I don't know if it will work for you but sometimes I use vegi broth in stead of oil♥️💚
Honestly, it is a miracle to me how you can prepare 4 dishes...... I didn't serve it with rice but this was so delicious that there was no chance for preparation for another dishes for later..... really great, thanks for sharing!!
Yes! You are capable of so much! Thank you for watching!!
Great video. Thank you! Especially loved the clips!
Thanks, Jean! We appreciate you!
I’ve just came across your video and I had to subscribe. Keep up the good work 😊
Thank you for stopping by, we appreciate your support!
Very colorful presentation! And it looks yummy! I’ve seen several other videos from this channel. Really like the pressed method of cooking mushrooms I’ve seen him use in other videos and wonder if the same can be done with tofu.
Italian style cooking👌
🤩 So excited to see you're doing this series!! 👍👍🌿
We are excited to be sharing it! Thanks for watching!
Your videos are high quality and the food looks soooo good! Thanks for all you do.
Thank you so much for that nice feedback!! We appreciate you!

OMG. I had my fork ready. Sure wish we had taste-avision! Thank you for all these tofu recipes...I'm tired of the same old ones. You are bringing new life to tofu!
Excellent! Glad you like them, Linda! We'll keep 'em coming!
WOW yummy and delicious Mushroom and Tofu so very amazing
Loved watching! This will be my next one to try. I laughed out loud.. and learned a few things.. great job! ❤️❤️
Thanks for watching, Beverly! We appreciate your support and glad you got a few laughs!!
Is there a full video of the Smithy Mushroom trip we can watch anywhere, Derek? Thanks for these videos! Love them
so, innovative and delicious veg meals..👌😋
you may not be the most popular but you are definately one of the best!
Thanks, Bartek!! We'll keep the videos coming! We appreciate your support!
Tagging you as soon as I make this, which will be in a few days. Looks amazing and so simple.
I died laughing at the playing the tongs. Hubby and I are both line cooks and I don't know any line cooks that don't do that as soon as they grab the tongs or when they are in a groove.
This was really entertaining. Thanks for the laughs! Oh and The food looks great.
Love this video and the cooking tip for the mushrooms
thank you
Thank You so much💓 I can smell the deliciousness pulsating the screen🤸
so excited to find your site.... very straight foreword and easy to follow. p.s. love the tats and the sandalwood beads !
I've made this so yummy, but I did some vegan butter, chopped chillies, spring onions and garlic in pan nice source for the tofu x
The forest grump reference got me dying 💀💀💀 lovely recipe. ❤️
LOL...thanks!! Glad you liked it!
Awww...I've just recently discovered you! And am so pleasantly surprised...and it brought tears of joy (with sadness of course being an empath) to hear you say those beautiful words about NOT including animals (and the reason why...which is extremely important) incorporated into your cooking videos. Thank you SO VERY much for doing this...for our animal family!
Thank you for sharing in our mission, Cher-Ami! Compassion for animals is such an important part of what motivates us, it's great to hear comments like this!
Great recipe & video was great to follow while cooking!!
Looks delicious 🙏🏼😇💯👍👌
Thank you so much
Supper! Thank you! Love all the ingredients.
Love your videos, they are very easy to follow, thank you! ❤️
I LOVE watching you cook!!
Thank you!!
That looks great!
This is incredible. Thank you!
Nice video! I liked what you did with the mushrooms! I could almost smell them!
IDEA FOR A FUTURE VIDEO............Wonderful channel! Just found you. I wonder if you could do a wee series on how to do things with veggies that arrive seasonally in a veg box?
I'm a pretty good cook. I enjoy seeing what arrives and thinking up something delicious to make. I feel fortunate to have this skill. It would be great to promote not only veganism but buying veg with no packaging. Mother earth needs us to stop single use plastics. I live in scotland so root veg is in the main in winter but spring summer...... all superb. Id like to learn more things to do.
Thankyou.
I loooooveee your recipes. My favourite chef ever!!!
Looks so good ❤ you should compost your scraps 😊
Just found you. You're cool! Thanks for sharing your journey through life.
Love the format Derek - i've got a copy of the wicked healthy book and the fresh tofu pasta recipe is out of this world. Works great with my cavatelli maker too (grandma's old and trusty one) Looking forward to more of these!
Thanks, Dan! Really appreciate the feedback and absolutely LOVE hearing about the recipes from the book you're enjoying! We'll have new episodes coming out every week. Thanks for watching!
❤️ Watching Again ❤️ Love Your Sense Of Humor ❤️
Awesome video man!! ❤️❤️
Thanks, Steven!! We appreciate you!!
Hey, Guys! Heard of you guys via Rip Esselstyn's podcast/interview with Chad last year, but never viewed any of the Wicked Healthy videos until last month. Great how-to videos in almost-real-time and good humor! I am a desktop chef at work, and lately I've been cooking vast amounts of sauteed or seared mushrooms into my meals - potatoes, stir fries, and even salads, so I looked you up. I love the technique of searing mushrooms on their flat sides until they turn golden brown. It works well for me, and I don't even use oil, just a few seasonings and the mushrooms' own moisture. I am on the lookout for those large king oyster (?) mushrooms you use in your "meat-like" recipes. Would love to try those, but I've yet to find them in any stores here in Washington state. I am so grateful for what you are doing to "be the change," and I wish you the very best!
Thanks, Dave! Glad to have you on the channel...we are big fans of Rip-such a good dude.
I want to marry him and I already have a wife!
HA HA HA HA HA !!! 😆
Lol....
Me too!!
Mabe, he will adopt you so he cooks for you? That's what I am dreaming about in my wildest vegan dreams.
Great video!
This recipe is frigging 30 minutes long but totally worth every second!
True! Stay tuned for streamlined versions of our Greatest Hits!
Enjoyed this and will most definitely give this a go! Also looking forward to the next one!
Tom Donlan thank you!! We appreciate your support...check out Episode 2 released today!
@@DerekSarnoChef Definitely checked that out as soon as I got the notification about it! Will be making that for sure as well.
I use the discarded veg to make broth. Nice video.🌼
Thank you for sharing. 🇨🇦😎
❤️ Thank You ❤️
I love the movie cut ins -- particularly from Forrest Gump!
I have never heard of the cooking technique called... "Al Dante".... :) Just joshing ya Derek great work!
You should make veggie broth with the veggie scraps!! I always do!!!
And MOST importantly...thank you SO very much for reminding others about NOT eating animals.
My life is dedicated to helping ALL animals in ANYWAY I possibly can each and every day. So I cannot thank you enough for your animal advocacy.
Yur channel is awesome!!!
Thank you so much!
