Ingredients
  

  • 14 oz extra-firm tofu pressed
  • 3 TBS olive oil
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp maple syrup
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

For Serving

  • Fresh baby Spinach and Piquillo peppers

Instructions
 

  • Press out the water from the tofu. Cut the tofu into 3 even slices (about 3/4″ thick).
  • In a large shallow dish, combine all the remaining ingredients. Add the tofu to the dish, ensuring the tofu is completely submerged in the marinade. Place in the refrigerator to marinate for 2 hrs.
  • Preheat grill. Once the grill is hot, carefully remove the tofu from marinade, reserving the marinade for later, and place the tofu on a non-stick grill mat on the grill.
  • Grill tofu on each side for about 5 mins, until the sides are blackened and the tofu is cooked all the way through.
  • Remove tofu from the grill and brush on a generous coat of excess marinade. Serve over a bed of steamed fresh spinach and top with slices Piquillo peppers.
