Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams firm tofu
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano
- 2 garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Drain the tofu and wrap it in paper towels. Place a heavy object on top, such as a cast-iron skillet, to press out excess moisture. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes.
While the tofu is pressing, prepare the herb marinade. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, and gluten-free soy sauce.
Finely chop the parsley, basil, and oregano. Mince the garlic. Add them to the marinade along with ground black pepper and sea salt. Mix well.
Once the tofu is pressed, cut it into slices about 1 cm thick.
Place the tofu slices in a shallow dish. Pour the herb marinade over the tofu, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
Lightly brush the grill with oil to prevent sticking. Place the marinated tofu slices on the grill.
Grill the tofu for 4-5 minutes on each side or until grill marks appear and it turns golden brown.
Remove from the grill and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with additional chopped herbs before serving.
