Instructions

Prepare the Tofu

  • Slice the tofu into 1/1.5 cm thick rectangles - not too thick so they cook evenly, but not so thin that they fall apart on the skewers and the grill
    300-360 g firm tofu

Marinate the Tofu

  • Spread some of the chimichurri sauce on the bottom of a container. Add the tofu slices and spoon the chimichurri mixture over the slices. Be generous-ensure each piece is coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour.
  • If you're short on time, even 20 minutes will give the tofu a great flavor boost. But the longer it sits, the better!

Grill the Tofu

  • Place the tofu pieces on skewers. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface if needed to prevent sticking. Grill the marinated tofu for about 4-5 minutes per side, until you see nice golden-brown char marks.
  • Avoid flipping the tofu-let it sit and sear to develop that smoky, crispy exterior.

Serve and Enjoy

  • Serve your grilled tofu hot, drizzled with any remaining chimichurri. It's great on top of rice or bulgur, inside a wrap and more!
  • This tofu is flavorful enough to stand on its own or complement just about any side!
