Grilled Basil Marinated Tofu

Grilled Basil Marinated Tofu

Here's a quick and simple marinade that adds a little oomph to your tofu. It's not a really potent in-your-face kind of marinade, but it's flavorful. It works well on seitan and tempeh, too. Like any marinade, the longer you let it marinade, the better it will be. Grilling gives it that extra something.

Grilled Basil Marinated Tofu
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp broth
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp tamari
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 Tbsp red onion, finely chopped
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp finely chopped basil
ground pepper
1 # tofu, drained and pressed

Mix all marinade ingredients together. Pour over tofu, tempeh or seitan cutlets. Let sit at least an hour, but overnight is even better. Grill when you're ready.

If you're wondering about the sides up there, it's broccolini (one of my favorites), those crash potatoes (I finally made them) and some roasted cauliflower.

Don't forget, Food Network Friday is coming soon. (Tater tots...tater tots...tater tots...). See you then!
