Grilled Tofu With Chimichurri Sauce and Avocado Cucumber Salad image

I found this recipe in in a waiting room magazine and am posting here to try later. Looking around on the internet, the sauce can also be used on steaks, chicken, pork or fish ... I think on just about anything you want. I apologize for the initial post with most of the instructions missing. I tried to put it together again without the recipe in front of me (no longer have it). Instructions may need adjustment as I haven't made it yet and can't quite remember how it went.

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 (15 ounce) package firm tofu
4 slices whole-grain bread
1/2 cup red onion, minced
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup sherry wine vinegar
2 tablespoons oregano, chopped
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 -2 teaspoon sea salt

fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
1 Hass avocado, thinly sliced
7 ounces japanese cucumbers, sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
squeeze lemon
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil (for drizzling)

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill or grill pan.
  • Combine sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Place in an air-tight container for an hour or up to several days in advance. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes prior to serving.
  • Combine salad ingredients, gently adding the avocado last. Refrigerate until needed.
  • Pat the tofu slices dry with paper towels. Slice into four pieces. Brush the tofu and bread on both sides with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the bread over moderately high heat, turning once, until lightly charred, about 2 minutes. Grill the tofu, turning once, until grill marks form and the tofu is heated through, about 6 minutes.
  • Transfer the grilled bread and tofu pieces to plates. Top with salad. Drizzle with chimichurri sauce. Serve immediately.
