THE HOLY GRAIL - Savory Broiled Tofu

Day one, recipe one.

We are going to need alot of tofu in this house and to put it mildly...and some of us are ambivalent.

Ok, I think this first recipe came out well. I plan to wrap it up and disguise it in peanut sauce and lettuce....because that's how i roll. (Get it roll?)See my summer roll recipe!

This recipe was from Gwyneth Paltrow's newest cookbook (yes...i caved) 

I realize this isn't the most inspired pic but I'm new at this...bear with me.

THE HOLY GRAIL - Savory Broiled Tofu 

SOURCE: It’s All Good – Gwyneth Paltrow

1/4 cup soy sauce*
2 tablespoons raw honey
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
2 small garlic cloves, finely minced
A 14-ounce box firm tofu, drained and cut into 1/2-inch strips. 

Whisk together the soy sauce, honey, oils, and garlic in a mixing bowl. Add the tofu to the bowl and gently stir to coat it with the mixture. 
Transfer the tofu to a baking sheet and pour over it whatever liquid remains in the bowl. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Broil, Carefully turning ONCE, until the tofu is browned and has a few crispy edges, just 4 to 5 minutes total, depending on the heat of your broiler.

JENN NOTES: 

i cut it too thinly and it was hard to manage. I also ended up baking for about 10 minutes on 350,after i GENTLY turned them once.

i added 1 tbsp black and white sesame seeds.

i used the second highest rack setting because they seemed to be burning, as opposed to being super sweetly crisping.

These were WAY too salty. I would use low sodium next time, or just take down the amount of SOY altogether.

FAMILY TALLY: The vegetarian and I mostly loved these 2 others (THE PICKY ONE and THE MEAT EATER) refused to try this time.
