BLACKENED TOFU
These are really spicy so use less pepper if you don't care for a lot of heat. Serve with rice or even as a sandwich filling. The recipe was found in The Giant Book of Tofu Cooking. When you prepare this be sure to press out the excess water.

BLACKENED TOFU
Out of frustration at not finding a decent blackened tofu recipe I made one up, using several recipes online as examples. The trick in frying the tofu is to remove the excess moisture from the tofu first. I always add less thyme-it not being my favorite herb...add more if you wish. Oh, this might be a good time to state that this is very spicy! Since I've posted this recipe I have actually reduced the amount of pepper.

Steps:
- Drain the tofu and cut into 1/2" slices. Drain on wire cookie rack with two heavy pans on top for weight. The weight of the pans will help in removing the excess water from the tofu. Drain at least 30 minutes but up to 45 minutes.
- Melt the butter and set aside in shallow dish.
- In coffee mill or food processor, blend all the spices together to a fine powder.
- Place the spice mixture on a piece of wax paper. Stir in the flour with the spices.
- Heat some butter in a cast iron skillet on medium to medium-high heat, but DO NOT burn.
- Dredge the tofu slices one at a time in the melted butter then in the spice mixture.
- Fry tofu slices on one side for five minutes, until blackened but not burnt. Turn over and fry another 5 minutes until blackened.
- Season with salt to taste. Serve lemon wedges on the side for drizzling.
- Makes an ideal appetizer if cut up into strips. Really tasty with Tabasco sauce!
- Red beans and rice would complement this perfectly!

- 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.
