Hokkaido Tofuballs
- Turn on the oven to 180°C/350°F.
- Peel the onion and garlic cloves. Add these and the remaining ingredients to a food processor and pulse. Make sure to scrap down the sides once a while.
- Once the ingredients have become one mass, form the tofuballs, using one large heaped table spoon for each. Place them on a baking tray and place in the oven for 25-30 minutes.
- Turn the oven on grill for about 5 minutes, but make sure they don't burn.
Tomato sauce
- While the tofuballs are in the oven, peel the onions and garlic cloves. Chop these and the capers finely. (Alternatively, add them to the food processor and blend until the desired consistency – no need to clean it from making the tofuballs).
- Add the onions, garlic and capers with the remaining ingredients to a sauce pan. Bring to a quick fry/boil and then let it simmer until the tofuballs are done.
- Add the tofuballs to the sauce pan and enjoy as is or with some cooked quinoa or rice.
