Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 36

Tofu
2 14-oz. blocks extra-firm tofu, drained
2 small red onions, coarsely chopped
10 scallions, cut into 2" pieces
12 garlic cloves
4-6 Scotch bonnet or habanero chiles, seeds removed, or 1-2 tsp. Scotch bonnet chile powder
12 sprigs thyme, leaves picked
2 1" pieces ginger, peeled
16-20 allspice berries or 2 Tbsp. ground allspice
⅔ cup soy sauce
½ cup (packed) dark brown sugar
½ cup distilled white vinegar
¼ cup fresh lime juice
1 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. browning sauce (preferably Grace; optional)
1 Tbsp. freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1¼ tsp. Morton kosher salt
½ tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
½ tsp. ground cinnamon
¼ cup avocado oil or vegetable oil
Salsa
Juice of 1 lime
1 Scotch bonnet chile or jalapeño, seeds removed
2 cups coarsely chopped ripe mango
⅔ cup coarsely chopped red bell pepper
½ cup coarsely chopped red onion
2 Tbsp. coarsely chopped cilantro
2 tsp. agave nectar or honey (optional)
½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or ¼ tsp. Morton kosher salt, plus more
Plantains and assembly
¼ cup avocado oil or vegetable oil, plus more for grill
⅔ cup (packed) dark brown sugar
¼ cup distilled white vinegar
1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
4 very ripe (almost black) plantains, halved lengthwise
Thinly sliced scallions and lime wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Tofu
  • Wrap tofu in 2 layers of paper towel, place on a rimmed baking sheet, and weigh down with something heavy (large cans or a small cast-iron skillet work well). Let sit 30 minutes. (Alternatively, press tofu in a tofu press 15-30 minutes.)
  • Meanwhile, process red onions, scallions, garlic, chiles, thyme, ginger, allspice, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, lime juice, browning sauce (if using), black pepper, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a food processor or blender to a coarse purée. With motor running, stream in oil and process to a fine purée. Transfer jerk sauce to a bowl.
  • Unwrap tofu and cut each block crosswise into 6 slices. Pour 1 cup jerk sauce into a baking dish, then add tofu slices and turn to coat. Set remaining jerk sauce aside for brushing and serving. Cover and chill tofu at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day. Do ahead: Jerk sauce can be made 3 weeks ahead. Cover and chill.
  • Salsa
  • Pulse lime juice, chile, mango, bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, agave (if using),and ½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or ¼ tsp. Morton kosher salt in a food processor just until coarsely chopped, 5-10 pulses. Taste salsa and season with more salt if needed. Transfer to a bowl; cover and chill until ready to serve.
  • Plantains and assembly
  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; lightly oil grate. Arrange tofu on grate, cover, and grill, brushing with reserved jerk sauce as you turn tofu, until lightly browned and grill marks appear, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and brush with additional sauce, if desired.
  • Meanwhile, mix brown sugar, vinegar, salt, pepper, and remaining ¼ cup oil in a small bowl. Brush cut sides of plantains generously with mixture.
  • Arrange plantains, cut side down, on grate, cover, and grill, brushing all over with brown sugar mixture as you turn, until deep golden and grill marks appear, about 7 minutes per side. Transfer plantains to plates with tofu.
  • Top tofu and plantains with scallions and serve with salsa and lime wedges.
