Grilled Marinated Tofu And/or Mushrooms

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

6 tablespoons cider or rice vinegar

3 tablespoons soy sauce

3 tablespoons molasses

6 medium garlic cloves -- minced

salt and pepper -- to taste

 

Combine all marinade ingredients in a 9 x 13-inch glass pan or its equivalent.

 

Cut the tofu into pieces about 3/4-inch thick and 2 1/2 inches square.

(Portobello mushrooms can be left whole. Domestic mushrooms should have the

stems removed.)

 

Place the tofu and/or mushrooms in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate 12 to 14

hours. For the first few hours, turn the tofu and/or mushrooms every 30 minutes

or so to maximize exposure to the marinade.

 

Grilling the tofu: Cook over red-hot coals for about 5 to 8 minutes on each

side, depending on the thickness of the tofu and the intensity of the heat.

Ideally, the tofu should end up dark and crisp, and decorated with black

stripes.

 

Grilling the mushrooms: This is a little more subjective than the tofu. Cook

the portobellos until they are heated all the way through and seem done to you.

The same holds for their smaller domestic cousins--just be sure you don't cook

these too long, or they'll shrink and possibly disappear.

NOTES : This recipe makes enough for 1 1/2 pounds firm tofu or for about 2 to 3

medium portobello mushrooms, or about a pound of large, fresh domestic

mushrooms. If you want to grill all three, just double the marinade recipe.

Make sure the grill is well oiled, unless it is nonstick.
