Instructions: 12 SERVINGS DAIRY-FREE

Nothing could be simpler for enter-taming than this flavorful dish. Make it two days ahead, then pop it into the oven just before serving. Serve with the Garlicky Roasted Mushrooms.

In food processor, finely chop carrot and onion. With motor running, add honey, soy sauce, miso, vinegar, water and oil through the feed tube. Process until all ingredients are incorporated and marinade is emulsified. (Makes 2 cups.)

Cut each tofu brick into 3 lengthwise slices. Cover the bottom of 13- by 9-inch dish with about 1/2 cup of the miso marinade. Arrange half the tofu slices over marinade. Spoon over another 1/2 cup of marinade, then repeat with remaining tofu and marinade. Cover and marinate 2 days in refrigerator.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Remove cover from dish and bake marinated tofu just until heated through, about 10 minutes. Arrange on serving platter.
