LEMON-HERB GRILLED TOFU - VEGAN FRIENDLY



Lemon-Herb Grilled Tofu - Vegan Friendly image

This passed the test with flying colors with both our vegan and our carnivores. It's easy, can be made ahead up to grilling time and can be made into kebabs with vegetables, or served cold in a vinaigrette with cooked green beans.

Time 17m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb extra firm tofu (although you might as well double the recipe and enjoy the leftovers as a salad)
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon dijon-style mustard
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon lemon pepper

Steps:

  • Drain and slice the tofu into 1/2 inch slices (slightly thicker slices if you plan to make kebabs) and place between paper towels. Place a weight on top and let drain for about an hour.
  • Pat the slices dry and cut each slich into 3 or 4 triangles.
  • Mix the marinade in a zip-lock bag, add the triangles and refrigerate until needed.
  • Grill the tofu triangles until slightly browned. You could also skewer them with cut up vegetables and baste with the marinade.
  • These are also very good the next day, served chilled with cooked green beans in the leftover marinade/dressing.
