Last night I wasn't in the mood for cooking dinner and my pantry and fridge. are running low on food items, so not too many options. I decided on a sandwich with baked fries and a salad. I thinly sliced up a block of the extra firm tofu that is vacuum sealed, no water. The marinade I used for the tofu slices is the Blackened Tempeh recipe from The Real Food Daily Cookbook .
I love love love this recipe, I just cut down on the oil and cayenne that is used and I use maple for the sweetener. Let this marinade for a couple of hours, the longer the better. Then I grilled up the tofu, yellow bell peppers, onion and some zucchini's, since I'm overflowing on the zucchini's right now in my garden I use them any chance I get. hee hee. Once grilled layer up on toasted bread and enjoy!
Flavorful baked tofu is the savior of many a boring salad or sandwich!
ReplyDeleteI just realized that I haven't had tempeh in way too long and I have that RFD cookbook! I'm going to try that marinade soon. Thanks :)

ReplyDeleteI LOVE tofu sandwiches, fried, grilled, raw, baked, anything goes with tofu, I love it all. This looks just beautiful, I love how many veggies you packed in there too.

ReplyDeleteI love a good sandwich. I am starting to like tofu again so I will try this and try to get most of the water out.
