Barbecue Tofu

 

2 pounds of firm tofu

Olive oil (as needed)

Tamari or raw soy sauce (as needed)

1 sliced onion

1 Tb black pepper

Natural barbecue sauce (see recipe below or use all natural store

brand)

 

Cut the tofu blocks into ¼ inch thick slabs. In a shallow pan, marinade

the tofu using a mixture of 1 part olive oil to 1 part tamari or raw soy

sauce, so that there is just enough marinade to cover the tofu. Slice

the onion and put the slices on top of all the pieces of tofu and

sprinkle black pepper over all the blocks of tofu. Allow the tofu to

marinade for at least two hours, longer if possible (preferably

overnight). Remove the tofu from the marinade and douse it with the

barbecue sauce. Right after you put the barbecue sauce on, place the

tofu in the freezer and allow it to freeze solid. Once frozen, remove it

from the freezer and broil it for 5 to 10 minutes. You can then make a

sandwich out of it or put it inside a pita pocket along with your

favorite toppings. Serves 4. (Adapted from 30 Days @ Delights of the

Natural Barbecue Sauce

 

3-4 medium size tomatoes

10 sundried tomatoes

1 cup raisins

2 tsp vinegar

1 Tb tamari or raw soy sauce

1 tsp thyme

1 tsp paprika

2 Tb barbecue spice

1 tsp chili powder

 

Soak the sundried tomatoes in water for a couple of hours to allow them

to get soft. Cut the tomatoes in fourths and place all ingredients in a

food processor. Using the S blade, pulverize the contents until smooth.
