Number Of Ingredients 11

1/3 cup balsamic vinegar or 1/3 cup fig balsamic vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup thinly sliced fresh mint leaf, plus sprigs (to garnish)
1 (12 ounce) container extra firm tofu, cut crosswise into 8 slices, drained on paper towels
1 small zucchini, trimmed, cut lengthwise into four 4-inch-long slices
1 small red bell pepper, ends trimmed, seeded, cut lengthwise into 4 pieces
4 slices tomatoes
1 Japanese eggplant, trimmed, cut lengthwise into four 4-inch-long slices
4 portabella mushrooms or 4 shiitake mushrooms, 3-inch-diameter, stems removed

Steps:

Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Place vinegar and minced garlic in large bowl. Gradually whisk in olive oil. Stir in sliced mint. Season marinade to taste with salt and pepper.
Working in batches, add tofu to marinade and turn to coat. Transfer tofu to baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add zucchini, bell pepper, eggplant, mushrooms, and radicchio to marinade in bowl and toss to coat.
Place zucchini, pepper, tomato, eggplant, and mushrooms on grill. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until charred and softened, turning occasionally, about 6 minutes. Transfer to baking sheet. Place tofu and radicchio on grill. Cook until tofu is charred and radicchio is charred and wilted, about 2 minutes per side.
Stack tofu and vegetables on plates. Garnish with mint sprigs and serve.
