Kareens Caribbean Tofu Dish Food

AUTHENTIC JAMAICAN JERK TOFU RECIPE

Steps:

• Freeze and thaw tofu and use a tofu press to get the water out. *See Notes in post for why and how to do this if needed.
• Add all the ingredients except the tofu into a blender or food processor and blend until very well combined. Put into a jar.
• Once pressed, slice tofu in half and then half again for 4 equal size pieces (or cube if desired).
• Place tofu into a shallow container that has a lid. Spread 1/4-1/3 cup jerk sauce across and over all sides. Rub into the tofu. Place lid on top and into fridge to marinate overnight or at least 4-6 hours.
• To Grill: Preheat grill to medium (about 400 degrees). Add tofu directly to greased grill grates or to a grill mat. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway. To Pan Fry: add 1 tbsp oil to a large skillet and heat over medium low heat. Once hot, add tofu and cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping occasionally to get all the sides.
• Remove and serve with Jamaican rice and peas or desired side dishes.
