Best 3 Smoked Tofu Recipes

SMOKED TOFU

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!

ASPARAGUS, COURGETTE AND SMOKED TOFU RISOTTO RECIPE - (4/5)

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.
