A really lovely unusual recipe great as an alternative to a sandwich, nice with your favourite cheese and chutney.

Method

1. Pre-heat the oven to 200°C (400°F/Gas Mark 6).

2. In a large bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper and the eggs. Beat well until you have a sticky compact ball and then add the oil and the milk whilst beating continuously. Lastly add the red pepper, sun blushed tomatoes, tofu, cheese and herbs.

3. Pour the mixture into the loaf tin and bake for 30-40 mins. Cover with foil half way through the cooking time if the loaf appears to be browning too much on top.

Serve warm or cold, ideal for picnics as an alternative to a sandwich.

*Wrap the drained tofu in kitchen roll and press between two chopping boards weighted with a heavy pan or cookery book for at least 10 mins.
