Ingredients
- 1 block firm tofu, pressed and sliced
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 zucchinis, sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the tofu. Take a block of firm tofu and press it to remove excess moisture. You can do this by wrapping the tofu in a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy object on top for about 15-20 minutes. Once pressed, slice the tofu into 1/2-inch thick slices.
- While the tofu is pressing, prepare the zucchinis. Wash them thoroughly and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced tofu with 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce. Gently toss the tofu in the sauce to ensure each piece is well-coated. Let it marinate for about 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. If using a grill, make sure to oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- While the grill is heating, in a separate bowl, toss the sliced zucchinis with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Once the grill is hot, carefully place the marinated tofu slices on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until you see nice grill marks and the tofu is heated through.
- While the tofu is grilling, place the zucchini slices on the grill as well. Grill them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
- Once both the tofu and zucchini are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a minute.
- To serve, arrange the grilled tofu and zucchini on a platter. You can drizzle any remaining BBQ sauce over the tofu for extra flavor. Enjoy your Alt s BBQ Tofu a Grilovanou Cukinou!
Tips
- Pressing Tofu: Don’t skip the pressing step! Removing excess moisture is key to achieving that perfect grilled texture. If you’re short on time, you can use a tofu press for quicker results.
- Marinating Time: Allow the tofu to marinate in the BBQ sauce for at least 10-15 minutes. This extra time will enhance the flavor, making each bite irresistible.
- Grill Temperature: Make sure your grill is preheated to medium-high heat. This ensures that the tofu and zucchini get those beautiful grill marks while cooking evenly.
- Zucchini Prep: Cut the zucchini into uniform slices to ensure they cook evenly. You can also experiment with other veggies like bell peppers or eggplant for added variety.
- Watch the Time: Keep an eye on the cooking times for both the tofu and zucchini to prevent overcooking. You want them tender but still slightly crisp!
- Serving Suggestions: For an extra kick, serve the grilled tofu and zucchini with a side of coleslaw or a fresh salad. You can also add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for a burst of color and flavor.
- Leftovers: If you have any leftovers, they make a fantastic addition to salads or grain bowls the next day!
