Ingredients
  

Tofu and Brine Liquid
  • 14 oz soft tofu
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp cane sugar
  • 1 Tbsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp poultry seasoning
  • ½ tsp ground mustard
  • ½ lemon juice
What you need to build the Tofu Benedict

  • 1 Tbsp parsley chopped 
  • dash cayenne pepper ground 

Method
 

How to Make Brine Poached Tofu
  1. Use a pot large enough to hold all eight portions of tofu. Combine all of the ingredients in the pot, heat over medium, stir to mix and dissolve the salt and sugar.
  2. Remove the tofu from its package and drain.
  3. Cut the tofu in half, starting with the shorter side, then cut those halves into 4 portions.
  4. Gently place the tofu into the brine and reduce the heat to low. The goal is to gently poach the tofu, if the brine boils it may break the tofu and the brine will reduce. The longer the tofu can poach the better. We recommend 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Building the Tofu Benedict 
  1. Butter the English muffin, toast under the broiler until golden brown and crispy. 
  2. Place the farro sausage patty on top of the English muffin.
  3. Gently remove the tofu from the brine, placing it on top of the farro sausage.
  4. Cover the tofu with vegan hollandaise sauce.
  5. Garnish with a dash of cayenne pepper and chopped parsley.
