I found some lovely ground ivy (Glechoma hederacea) today while walking the ‘foul stinking beast’. So I thought I’d try a marinade for tofu. I have to say that I rarely do ‘fried’ foods, but today was different.
Ground Ivy Recipe Ingredients
- 7g ground ivy (fresh)
- 2tbsp olive oil
- 2tbsp sesame oil
- 1tbsp white wine vinegar

Ground Ivy Recipe Instructions
- Finely chop the ground ivy, and combine all ingredients in a flat dish.
- Slice the tofu into four, and liberally brush the marinade all over it. Leave to stand for 30 minutes, turning the tofu occasionally.
- Next put ½ cup of oil in a frying pan on a high heat, when hot fry the tofu slices for 60 seconds either side.
- Serve on a bed of fried dulse and serve topped with steamed or sauteed sea purslane leaves.

Hi, I’ve been sauteéing young ground ivy with fresh dandelion flowers with firm tofu and a bit of liquid aminos just this spring. It is so good?. I’ve also been cultivating dandelion flowers for tea or as a cold drink. I’m so hooked now ?.
I wondered if anyone else was doing the same. I see that you are. I can’t seem to get the tofu toasted though. I have been using coconut oil. Any tips?
