Husband-Tested in Alice's Kitchen
This turned out to be a really delicious Tofu Souvlakia. In the photo, you’ll see this Vegan Tzatziki Sauce beneath the tofu souvlakia. (The sauce should be made in advance.) I didn’t have traditional pita, so I used whole wheat lavash. I sprinkled a bit of fresh lemon juice and kosher salt over the arugula and tossed for some green freshness. This was so dang good.
Ingredients
1 package super firm or extra firm tofu, pressed
Marinade Ingredients
¼ cup olive oil (plus more for the grill pan)
Juice and zest from 1 large lemon
1 Tablespoon dried oregano
1 Tablespoon maple syrup
2 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
¼ cup olive oil (plus more for the grill pan)
Juice and zest from 1 large lemon
1 Tablespoon dried oregano
1 Tablespoon maple syrup
2 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
For serving:
Whole wheat pitas or lavash
Vegan Tzatziki Sauce
3-4 cups fresh arugula tossed with 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon and sprinkled with salt and pepper, to taste
Whole wheat pitas or lavash
Vegan Tzatziki Sauce
3-4 cups fresh arugula tossed with 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon and sprinkled with salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Cut the tofu into large cubes. (I was able to cut the tofu into 16 cubes.) Thread the tofu cubes onto skewers. Set aside.
Put the marinade ingredients into an airtight glass container and whisk together. Add the tofu skewers and turn them so that they are completely covered in the marinade. Place in the fridge to marinate for at least an hour or overnight.
Heat a grill pan to medium high. Brush generously with olive oil. Add the skewered tofu directly on the grill pan. Leave them to grill until you see grill marks. (You can add a bit of olive oil to the leftover marinade and brush the tofu cubes with that while they grill.) Turn and continue to grill on the other side. Remove the skewers before assembling the sandwiches.
To make a sandwich, fill the pita/lavash with the sauce, top with the tofu and arugula.
