Lemon Herb Tofu

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400.

2. 2

   Cut the block of tofu into 4 slices and then cut the slices into cubes, triangles, or strips.

3. 3

   Spread the tofu pieces in a single layer in a lightly oiled baking pan large enough to hold them.

4. 4

   Whisk together the lemon juice, soy sauce, oil, herbs, pepper, and garlic, and pour over the tofu.

5. 5

   Bake uncovered, stirring every 10 or 15 minutes, until most of the marinade is absorbed, the oil is sizzling, and the tofu is firm and chewy, 30 to 35 minutes.

6. 6

   Serve hot, at room temperature, or chilled.

7. 7

   Use fresh herbs in place of dried: 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill or cilantro, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano, or 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary.

8. 8

   Try this tofu on Greek Salad (page 211), or create a Mediterranean plate with Tomatoes & Onions with Mint (page 205) and steamed artichokes with Herbed Aioli (page 224).
