Blackened Tofu With Succotash Recipes

BLACKENED TOFU STEAKS

Steps:

• To begin, whisk together the ingredients for the marinade in a shallow baking dish. Cut the tofu into 3 even slices (about 3/4" thick) and cut each of those slices into half. Add the thickly cut slabs of tofu to the marinade, ensuring the tofu is fully submerged. Marinade the tofu for at least two hours. Reserve the marinade.
• Once the tofu has marinated, add it to a preheated grill. You can either use an electric grill or outside grill. Grill the tofu for 6-8 minutes per side, until the tofu is slightly charred and cooked all the way through.
• Brush the tofu with extra marinade and serve with steamed vegetables and potatoes.

CRISPY BLACKENED TOFU

Steps:

• Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• Slice the tofu through the center so that you create two separate slabs. Then, cut each of those slabs in half to make 4 steaks. I cut them into triangles, but do as you prefer.
• Place the tofu in a dish with a flat bottom. Then, pour in the soy sauce and let the tofu marinate for at least 15 minutes.
• Add the blackened seasoning spice onto a plate or dish with a flat bottom. Press the tofu into the spices and rotate until all sides are covered fairly well.
• Cook in a hot nonstick skillet for 3-5 minutes per side. I love using cast iron for this recipe.

• Pour a teaspoon of melted butter onto each slice of tofu; place tofu, butter side down, in a hot frying pan.
• Stand back and fry for 2 minutes; turn tofu over and fry for another 2 minutes.
• Keep fried tofu in a warm oven until they're all ready to serve.
