Vegetarian Fact:
Example: Place a small square of sweet tofu in the center of thawed phyllo dough and pinch the dough into the shape of a beggar's purse (the shape of a bundle carried on the end of a stick). Bake until the phyllo is golden brown. Serve with a hot peach and raisin sauce or an orange sauce. Sweet tofu can be frozen and served as a trio of flavors, accompanied by frozen grapes.
