Grilled Cajun Tofu - not TNT

[Guest guest]

I have decided to be brave and try tofu. I haven't made this but I thought that

someone else may like it. If you make it, please tell me if it's good.

Grilled Cajun Tofu

 

1 block firm tofu -- drained and sliced into 4 thick pieces

1/2 c. olive oil

2 cloves garlic -- crushed

1 tsp. thyme

1/2 tsp. ground hot red pepper

1/2 tsp. black pepper

1/4 c. cider vinegar

1 tsp. oregano

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. paprika

 

Place the tofu slices on paper towels. Place more paper towels over the slices

and

put a cutting board over them. Place enough weight on the cutting board to

squeeze

the excess moisture out of the tofu. Allow to sit for about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine the remaining ingredients in a screw-top jar and shake

vigorously

to combine. Place the tofu slices in a shallow pan and pour the marinade over

them,

making sure both sides are covered. Allow to soak for at least 30 minutes.

 

Heat a grill pan to medium heat and lightly spray with cooking spray. Remove the

tofu slices from the marinade -- reserving the marinade -- and place on the

grill

pan. Cook the slices for about 5 minutes on each side or until they are nicely

textured.

 

Meanwhile, transfer the remaining marinade to a small saucepan and heat over

medium-high

heat until thickened and bubbly. Use as a sauce over the grilled tofu.

 

Yields: 4 main course servings

Preparation Time: 20 minutes
