BBQ TOFU: A VEGAN RECIPE YOU'LL LOVE

Steps:

• Press your extra firm tofu in a tofu press for 15 minutes. If you don't own a press, wrap your tofu blocks in clean, dry kitchen towels. Place the blocks between two cutting boards and place something heavy on top. Wait 2-3 hours and then remove the towels.
• Slice the tofu into six 1-inch thick blocks.
• Mix all of your sauce ingredients in a medium-sized bowl.
• Place the tofu pieces in a shallow baking dish. Add in ¾ cup of your barbecue sauce. Keep the rest of your sauce for brushing on the tofu during and after grilling time.
• Using a pastry brush, evenly coat the tofu pieces with the sauce.
• Allow the tofu to marinate in the BBQ sauce for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the grill to medium heat. Oil the grates with vegetable oil.
• Place your tofu on the oiled grates. Grill for 6-7 minutes per side, brushing the tofu on BBQ with the leftover sauce periodically.
• Brush the grilled tofu with one final coat of the barbecue sauce. Serve warm, straight from the grill.
