Cheese-stuffed tofu

This is a recipe for tofu eaters. If you aren't, marinade the blocks first!

Equipment:
Baking Pan
Knife
Chopping Board

Ingredients: 
500g firm tofu, cut into 4 cubes (marinate cubes for more flavour)
150g cheezly or other vegan cheese
50g grilled eggplant / zucchini / caramelised onion /other soft vegetable
herbs & spices
balsamic vinegar
margarine

To Prepare:
Preheat oven to 160°C. 
Cut a square in the top of the tofu cube. Scoop out most of inside the cube, leaving a bottom. Keep top of cut out.
Place grilled eggplant in the bottom. Add cheese, herbs, a dash of balsamic vinegar, and a dab of margarine. Place lid over. Sprinkle spices over.
Bake in oven for about 20-25 minutes, making sure the tofu is lightly browned on top.
Serve on a bed of garlicky greens.

Garlicky Greens
I prefer fresh spinach, but any greens can be used.
Lightly saute crushed garlic in margarine.
When garlic is cooked to your liking, slowly add greens, making sure to mix in garlic well. Serve slightly wilted.
