Spice Crusted Tofu

   

Tofu thats extra crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside and bursting with flavor!

MARINADE
12 oz. Extra-Firm Tofu

1/4 c. Vegetable Broth
1/4 c. Soy Sauce
1 tbsp. Red Wine Vinegar
1 tbsp. Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic

SPICE CRUST
1 heaping tbsp. Cumin
1 tbsp. Coriander
1 1/2 tsp. Paprika
1/4 tsp? Pepper

Drain tofu and cut into into 1" thick squares or rectangles. Place between two plates lined with paper towels and weigh down with something heavy (large can of beans, full tea kettle, etc). Press tofu for at least 30 minutes until it feels pretty dry.

In the meantime, combine all of the ingredients for the marinade. Place marinade in a skillet just big enough to lay the tofu out in a single layer. Bring the marinade to a simmer and continue to cook tofu for 5-10 minutes. Flip tofu and cook another 5-10 minutes.

While the tofu is cooking, combine the spices.

Remove tofu from the heat and shake off any excess liquid.  Lightly press the tofu into the spice mixture and flip. Continue with the remaining pieces of tofu. Heat a panini press, George Foreman grill, something similar and grill tofu until browned and heavily marked on both sides, 4-5 minutes.

*Serve with Moroccan Millet
