Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 block (14 oz) Firm tofu
- 1 large Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Za'atar spice blend
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Tahini
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1.5 tablespoons Water
- 4 slices Bread (sourdough or ciabatta, sliced)
- 1 handful Arugula
Instructions
Press the tofu by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel and placing it under a heavy object for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture. Once pressed, slice the tofu into 1/2-inch thick slabs.
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick strips.
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, za'atar spice blend, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Brush the tofu slabs and zucchini slices generously with the marinade on both sides. Let them sit for 5-10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
While the tofu and zucchini are marinating, preheat your broiler to high and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the marinated tofu and zucchini slices on the prepared baking sheet. Broil for 5-6 minutes on one side, then flip and broil for another 5-6 minutes until they are golden and slightly crisp around the edges.
Prepare the garlic tahini spread by mincing the garlic and whisking it together with tahini, water, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy.
Toast the slices of bread until golden brown.
Assemble the sandwiches by spreading the garlic tahini mixture on each slice of toasted bread. Layer the broiled tofu, zucchini, and a handful of arugula on two slices. Top with the remaining slices of bread.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Broiled Za'atar Tofu and Zucchini Sammich!
