   1 1/2   c            Onions, chopped
   2       ea           Garlic cloves, minced
   1       tb           Safflower oil
   2       c            Mushrooms
   2       tb           Parsley, chopped
   1       tb           Dill, chopped
   1       t            Thyme, chopped
   1       t            Rosemary, chopped
   1       lb           Firm tofu, drained
   1       t            Curry powder
                        Salt & pepper
     1/3   c            Wheatgerm
   1       md           Tomato, thinly sliced

  Saute the onio & garlic in oil until the onion begins
  to brown. Remove from skillet & set aside.  In the
  same skillet, saute mushrooms over medium heat,
  covered, until they are just softened & beginning to
  give off liquid.  Stir in the fresh herbs & remove
  from heat. Preheat oven to 350F.
  Place half of the onion mixture into a food processor
  or blender. Crumble in the tofu & blend until smooth.
  In a mixing bowl, combine tofu with the remaining
  onion mixture, curry powder, salt, pepper &
  mushroom-herb mixture.  Oil a 9" pan.  Sprinkle half
  the wheatgerm over the bottom of the pan.  Spoon in
  the tofu mixture & pat down to form an even layer.
  Top with sliced tomatoes & sprinkle with the remaining
  wheatgerm.  Bake until set, about 40 minutes.  Let
  stand for about 15 minutes, cut into wedges & serve.
  VARIATION: Replace thyme & rosemary with tarragon.
