Time 12m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

One 12-ounce container extra-firm tofu, drained and patted dry
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon herbs de Provence
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
One 6-ounce ripe Haas avocado, peeled and pitted
1/2 packed cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/2 cup vegetable broth
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (about 1 large lime)
1 clove garlic, peeled and smashed
1 large lime, zested
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the tofu: Place a nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. (If not using a nonstick grill pan, oil the grill lightly before cooking the tofu to prevent sticking.)
  • Cut the tofu in half diagonally to make 2 large triangles. Cut each large triangle in half to make 4 smaller triangles. Cut through each triangle horizontally to make 8 triangles. Brush on each side with olive oil. Season with the herbs de Provence, salt and pepper. Grill the tofu until light golden, 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to a platter.
  • For the cream: In a food processor, blend the avocado, parsley, broth, olive oil, lime juice, garlic and lime zest until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Spoon the cream over the tofu and serve.

AVOCADO WITH GRAPEFRUIT AND SWEET-ONION SALSA



Avocado with Grapefruit and Sweet-Onion Salsa image

Piled high with a simple-yet-flavorful salad of grapefruit, sweet onion, and cilantro, avocado halves become the most delicious edible bowl in your kitchen.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pink grapefruits
1/4 cup finely chopped sweet onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Coarse salt
2 avocados, cut in half, pitted and peeled

Steps:

  • Cut off both ends of grapefruits, and remove the peel, pith, and outer membranes, following the curve of the fruit with a paring knife. Working over a bowl to catch the juices, use the knife to carefully slice between the sections and membranes of each grapefruit to remove the segments. Slice each grapefruit segment into small pieces, and set aside.
  • Place onion in a small bowl. Squeeze remaining juice from grapefruit membranes over onions, and let stand 20 minutes to soften. Pour off and discard juice, and add grapefruit segments and cilantro. Add enough reserved grapefruit juice to moisten. Season with salt. To serve, place 3 to 4 tablespoons on each of the avocado halves.

Tips:

  • To ensure the tofu is flavorful, marinate it for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the tofu in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  • Be careful not to overcook the tofu, as it can become tough and rubbery.
  • For the salsa, use ripe, juicy grapefruit and avocados.
  • If you like spicy food, add a serrano or jalapeño pepper to the salsa.
  • Serve the grilled tofu with the grapefruit-avocado salsa, rice, and your favorite vegetables.
