Ingredients

or14 oz block extra firm tofu, drained

or1/4 cup olive oil

or1 large garlic clove, minced

or1 tsp honey or maple syrup

or1 tsp ground coriander

or1 tsp smoked paprika

or1 tsp cumin

or1/2 tsp cardamom

or1/2 tsp turmeric

or3/4 tsp salt

or3 Cups Basmati Rice

Preparation

Press the tofu for at least 30 minutes to remove excess moisture.

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, maple syrup, spices and salt. Cut the tofu into large cubes and place in a shallow container. Pour over the marinade and make sure all the cubes are evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, up to overnight.

Preheat the grill to medium high heat and soak a few wooden skewers in water (if using).

Thread the cubes of tofu onto the skewers. Place directly on the grill or ideally a grill basket/tray, just in case the pieces fall off while turning. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, until lightly charred and crispy.

Serve fresh off the grill with tahini yogurt sauce, warm pita and a tomato cucumber salad if desired.
