SMOKED TOFU

Steps:

• First cut your block(s) of Extra-Firm Tofu into three equal pieces. You can brush on any seasoning you like that will be cooked into the tofu but I've found it works best to focus on the smoked flavor you prefer. Mesquite is great for south-western style dishes. Hickory works really well with Italian, Hispanic and Asian dishes. Similar to any smoked meat you'll want to add the Tofu when the grill is around 250 degrees. It may take 45 minutes for it to cool down but in the mean time you could smoke/roast some veggies. After that smoke the tofu for up to 4 hours. Keep the grill above 150 degrees to ensure it loses some water volume. The goal is to shrink the Tofu by 1/3 to give it a still velvety feel while remaining beyond extra firm. You'll see a nice layer roasted flesh loaded with a smokey flavor! Enjoy!
