Halal BBQ Tofu

Halal BBQ Tofu is a deliciously marinated and grilled tofu dish that brings a smoky flavor reminiscent of classic American BBQ. This dish is perfect for those seeking a plant-based option while adhering to Halal dietary guidelines.

Ingredients

• Firm tofu - 400 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Maple syrup - 1 tablespoon
• Apple cider vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish)

Steps

1. Press the tofu: Wrap the firm tofu in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top to press out excess moisture for about 15 minutes.
2. Prepare the marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
3. Marinate the tofu: Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes and add it to the marinade. Gently toss to coat the tofu evenly, then let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
4. Preheat the grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.
5. Grill the tofu: Using skewers, thread the marinated tofu cubes onto the skewers. Grill for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the tofu is golden and slightly charred.
6. Serve: Remove the skewers from the grill, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve hot with your choice of sides.
