RICK'S RUB ORIGINAL GRILLED TOFU

Chef Rick
 
For this easy grilled tofu dinner, you will need extra firm tofu.
 
INGREDIENTS:
14 oz block of firm or extra firm tofu (drained weight = 4oz)
2 Tbs Rick’s Rub Original seasoning
½ lemon
1 Tbs cooking oil
 
Prep for tofu:

1. Slice open the package and drain out the water. Cut the block of tofu width-wise into eight ½” thick slices
2. Lay a dish towel on a cookie sheet or tray; place paper towel on top of the dish towel.
3. Spread the slices of tofu out in a single layer on the towels. Put more paper towel and another dish towel on top.
4. Set another cookie sheet on top and set heavy objects on top, such as canned goods, cook books, etc.
5. Leave the tofu for at least 30 mins to allow as much water out of the spongy tofu as possible. This will allow other flavours into the tofu!
6. Once the tofu has released most of the water, you are ready to proceed with the recipe!

 
METHOD:
 

1. Place drained tofu slices in a shallow dish and rub evenly with 2 Tbs Rick’s Rub Original
2. Lightly oil preheated grill rack or pan
3. Grill seasoned tofu over medium-high heat until lightly browned, 3 to 4 mins per side
4. Squeeze juice from lemon over cooked tofu and serve immediately, topped with salsa
