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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
While the tofu is pressing, prepare the herb marinade. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, and gluten-free soy sauce.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Once the tofu is pressed, cut it into slices about 1 cm thick.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
Step 7
Lightly brush the grill with oil to prevent sticking. Place the marinated tofu slices on the grill.
Step 8
Grill the tofu for 4-5 minutes on each side or until grill marks appear and it turns golden brown.
Step 9
Remove from the grill and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with additional chopped herbs before serving.
