Down Home Barbecued Tofu

 

Recipe By :Lorna Sass, The New Soy Cookbook

Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Tofu

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 pound extra-firm tofu -- drained

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard -- (generous tbsp)

2 tablespoons ketchup -- (generous tbsp)

2 tablespoons shoyu -- depending upon desired saltiness

2 large cloves garlic -- peeled and pressed

2 teaspoons blackstrap molasses

2 teaspoons toasted Asian sesame oil

1 teaspoon chipotle in adobo OR 1/4 tsp. ground

chipotle chili or cayenne

freshly ground black pepper to taste

 

Wrap the tofu in several layers of a clean, absorbent kitchen towel and set a

1-pound bag of dried beans on top. Set the tofu aside until you are ready to

slice it. Line a broiling pan or baking sheet with aluminum foil. Set aside.

Place the oven rack about 5 inches from the broiling element, and turn on the

broiler. In a pie plate or large, shallow bowl, prepare the barbecue sauce by

blending together the remaining ingredients. Unwrap the tofu and set the block

on a cutting board with the longer side facing you. Cut the block crosswise

into 9 slices, each slightly less than 1/2-inch thick. Dip the slices into the

sauce to coat both sides heavily. Arrange the slices on the broiling pan as you

work. (Reserve any remaining sauce.) Broil the tofu until flecked with dark

brown spots, 4 to 6 minutes. (If your broiler cooks unevenly, rotate the

broiling pan halfway through.) Turn the tofu over with a spatula and slather any

remaining sauce on the second side with a pastry!

brush or knife. Broil until deeply browned on the second side, 4 to 6 more

minutes. Serve with the darker side up.

and seed the chili, snip it into bits, and grind the bits to a powder in a spice
