Lemon Pepper Tofu
Serves: 2
A recipe for a delicious tofu bowl, but you can make the tofu with marinade for your BBQ and serve it with the sides of your choice.
For the tofu and asparagus:
• 1 block extra firm tofu
• 1 small bunch asparagus
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp dried parsley
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 1 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
• Pinch sea salt
• Pickled onions, to top (optional)
For the rice:
• 190g (6.7 oz) brown rice
• 700ml (1.2 pints) vegetable broth
• 240l (8 fl oz) water, as needed
You will also need:
• Bamboo skewers, for grilling (soak in water for 10 minutes before using)
1 Start with making the rice as it takes the longest to cook. Rinse the brown rice to remove any starch from the surface and place into a medium sized pot or rice cooker with vegetable broth. Bring to a boil and cook according to package directions adding water if needed halfway through – this usually takes about 30-45 minutes.
2 Prep the tofu; drain the liquid, press it to remove any extra liquid and let it rest for 15 minutes. Cut into 2 inch cubes, and put onto skewers.
3 To make the marinade, add the olive oil, garlic powder, dried parsley, lemon juice and seasoning to a small mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
