Cut tofu into 12 equal slices & extract excess moisture. Combine the herbs with soy milk & mix.

Set aside on a separate sheet of waxed paper. When all pieces have been coated, spray with olive oil on both sides. Bake on baking sheet, turning once, until crisp & richly browned, about 35 to 40 minutes.

Place three galettes on warmed dinner plates, serve with okra or a seasonal vegetable & chutney.

CHUTNEY: Combine first five ingredients in a bowl & mix. Cover & chill for at least 1 hour. Before serving, add salt & season with cayenne.
