Pistachio-Crusted Maple Dijon Tofu-recipe by Vegangela/www.vegangela.com. Shared with Angela's consent.

Ingredients:

1 block firm tofu, sliced into 6 equal pieces
1/4 C maple syrup
1 tsp curry powder
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 C shelled pistachios
Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with non-stick spray.
Place tofu on foil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  In a bowl, stir maple syrup with curry powder and Dijon.  Coarsely chop pistachios and set them aside.  Spoon half of maple mixture over tofu, then sprinkle with pistachios.  Spoon remaining maple mixture over nuts. Bake in center of preheated oven for 15 minutes. 
I served this with grilled asparagus, grilled Portobello mushrooms, fruit and green beans.  *See green bean recipe below*
So easy and tasted great!
