Ingredients

1 or more blocks of Extra Firm Tofu. Hickory or Mesquite Wood Chips and Authentic Charcoal.

Steps:

First cut your block(s) of Extra-Firm Tofu into three equal pieces. You can brush on any seasoning you like that will be cooked into the tofu but I've found it works best to focus on the smoked flavor you prefer. Mesquite is great for south-western style dishes. Hickory works really well with Italian, Hispanic and Asian dishes. Similar to any smoked meat you'll want to add the Tofu when the grill is around 250 degrees. It may take 45 minutes for it to cool down but in the mean time you could smoke/roast some veggies. After that smoke the tofu for up to 4 hours. Keep the grill above 150 degrees to ensure it loses some water volume. The goal is to shrink the Tofu by 1/3 to give it a still velvety feel while remaining beyond extra firm. You'll see a nice layer roasted flesh loaded with a smokey flavor! Enjoy!

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 small onion
2 cloves of garlic
1 medium courgette
10 asparagus tips
100 g smoked tofu
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 oz risotto rice
1 1/2 pints vegetable stock
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese

Steps:

Finely chop the onion and crush the garlic. I also sliced the courgette and tofu into small chunks. Over a low heat soften the onion and garlic. Add the rice and make sure it's thoroughly coated with the oil, onion and garlic. Turn up the heat to medium and add a ladleful of the vegetable stock. Stir until the stock has been absorbed by the rice then add another ladle of stock. Repeat this until all of the liquid has been absorbed. While the rice is cooking, grill the asparagus until softened then slice into centimetre chunks. Once the rice has cooked, add the vegetables and tofu and stir until mixed in and warmed.

Tips:

Choose the right tofu. Extra-firm or firm tofu is best for smoking, as it will hold its shape better than softer varieties.
Press the tofu before smoking. This will help to remove excess moisture and make the tofu more flavorful.
Season the tofu before smoking. You can use a variety of spices, herbs, or marinades to flavor the tofu.
Smoke the tofu at a low temperature for a long period of time. This will help to develop the flavor of the tofu without making it tough.
Use a smoker box or foil packet to smoke the tofu. This will help to prevent the tofu from sticking to the grill.
Let the tofu cool before serving. This will help the tofu to absorb the flavors of the smoke.

Conclusion:

Smoked tofu is a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a good source of protein, calcium, and iron, and it is also low in calories and fat. Whether you are a vegetarian or meat-eater, smoked tofu is a great option for adding flavor and nutrition to your meals.
