Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

1 cup Adobo Marinade (See recipe)

1 pound extra firm tofu

16 ounces prepared polenta -- (chub or log)

3 cups Avocado and Orange Salsa (See recipe)

 

1. Preheat the grill to the highest setting.

 

2. Make the Adobo marinade.

 

3. To marinate the tofu in the Adobo marinade: Slice the tofu into 8 (1/2-inch)

thick steaks. Pour the marinade into a shallow dish or shallow, airtight

container large enough to accommodate all of the tofu pieces in one layer.

 

4. Place the tofu in the marinade and turn it so all sides are coated with the

marinade. Cover tightly and refrigerate for 20 minutes (or up to 48 hours).

 

5. Slice the polenta into 1/2 inch thick slices and coat them with the Adobo

sauce. Spray each slice of tofu and polenta lightly with cooking spray. Grill

the polenta and the tofu on high heat for about 7 minutes on each side until

grill marks appear.

 

6. Make the Avocado and Orange Salsa (not too far ahead of serving time).

 

7. To serve, put two tofu steaks and two pieces of polenta on each of 4 dinner

plates. Spoon 1/4-1/2 cup salsa over the tofu then garnish with a dollop of sour

cream and a sprig of fresh cilantro (optional). Serve immediately.
