Grilled Zucchini And Mexican Tofu Sandwich Recipes

GRILLED HALLOUMI AND MINTED ZUCCHINI SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high and clean and oil the grate. (Or preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.)
• Marinate the zucchini in 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, the lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside for at least 30 minutes. In a separate dish, brush the sliced halloumi with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil. Peel the onion and cut it into 1/2-inch wedges through the core to hold each wedge together. Marinate the onion in 1 teaspoon olive oil and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Grill the zucchini until it has dark grill marks and is tender. Toss immediately in a bowl with the garlic and mint; then set aside. Grill the onion wedges, turning once, until they are slightly charred on the edges and a bit softened but not totally limp. Grill the halloumi until softened and marked by the grill.
• Slice the baguette lengthwise, leaving one side slightly attached. Brush with the remaining teaspoon of the olive oil. Cut crosswise into four even segments. Distribute the zucchini, halloumi and onions evenly among the sandwiches.

GRILLED ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Whisk olive oil, sea salt, garlic, rosemary, and black pepper together in a bowl; brush evenly onto zucchini strips.
• Cook on preheated grill until brown, 5 to 7 minutes per side; transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle balsamic vinegar over zucchini to serve.

GRILLED TOFU SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat your oven's broiler.
• Split the pita breads in half so that you have 4 round pieces. Spread mayonnaise on one half of each one, and tahini on the other half. Place tomato slices onto the mayonnaise halves, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Place 2 slices of tofu onto the tahini halves, and sprinkle a few drops of soy sauce over. Place the open sandwiches on a large baking sheet.
• Broil in the preheated oven until hot and bread is slightly toasted, about 4 minutes. Close the halves of each sandwich together, and cut into wedges to serve.

GRILLED ZUCCHINI SANDWICH

Steps:

• You can toast the bread, but I didn't. Spread the hummus on one slice of the bread and the mustard on the other slice.
• Layer the grilled zucchini, tomato slices, and lettuce between the bread.
• Salt and pepper to taste, but I think the hummus and mustard gives it a great flavor.

GRILLED TOFU SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Press tofu.
• Whisk together fish sauce, 1/4 cup vinegar, sugar, shallot, Sriracha, and ginger. Transfer tofu to a baking dish and top with marinade. Marinate at room temperature, 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss carrots with remaining vinegar. Season with salt and refrigerate.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Coat with vegetable oil and add tofu (reserve marinade). Grill, turning, until crisp and charred in spots, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Generously brush cut sides of baguette with olive oil. Grill until toasted and golden, about 1 minute. Top bread with grilled tofu, carrots, herbs, and a drizzle of reserved marinade.

GRILLED ZUCCHINI AND MEXICAN TOFU SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Cut off the stems and navels from the zucchini and cut lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Lightly brush 2 baking sheets with olive oil. Place the zucchini slices on the sheets and brush the tops lightly with more olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven until soft but not browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
• Combine all the ingredients for the filling, including tofu spread, basil, salt and pepper to taste, in a bowl. Using a wooden spoon, beat until smooth.
• Place a teaspoonful of filling at the wider end of each zucchini slice and roll up the slice. Fix rolls with chives. (Optional).
• Sprinkle with lemon juice.
