Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and tofu cubes. Cook until the tofu is golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set it aside.
-
In the same skillet, add the chopped apple and onion. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until the onions are translucent and the apples are softened.
-
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
-
Carefully pour the brandy into the skillet, stirring to deglaze any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for a minute to cook off the alcohol.
-
Stir in the vegetable broth, soy sauce, maple syrup, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Return the cooked tofu to the skillet and gently mix everything together.
-
Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly and the flavors have melded together.
-
Adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to taste.
-
Serve the Apple Brandy Pork hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Pair it with your favorite side dishes like mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
