I'm trying to find more ways to barbeque tofu instead of meat. This recipe, adapted from vegetarian.about.com, has the tropical taste I was after.

Categories     Soy/Tofu

Time 2h40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

454 g extra firm tofu, well-pressed
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup lime juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
2 teaspoons cumin powder
1/4 teaspoon chili flakes
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Press tofu well and slice into 8 thick slabs.
  • Whisk together remaining ingredients.
  • Coat tofu in marinade.
  • Marinate in the refrigerator for at least two hours, and up to overnight.
  • Tofu tends to stick to grills, so prepare your barbecue with a non-stick cooking spray or by rubbing it with oil.
  • Grill over a pre-heated grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, until browned, brushing occasionally with extra marinade.
