Steps:
- drain the tofu and press for 30 min by putting between paper towels with a large weight (book or heavy pan) on top.
- Prepare the marinade by mixing oil, broth, pesto, garlic, oregano, thyme, rosemary, lemon and salt and pepper to taste.
- cut the tofu into thin strips. Marinate the tofu for 1hr minimum, tossing a few times to make sure it is evenly distributed but being careful not to break pieces.
- meanwhile, combine cucumber, tomato, olive and feta in a bowl.
- Take the tofu out of the marinade (reserve marinade) and fry over very high heat in a non-stick skillet until darkly browned (very important that it is non-stick!). Turn off heat and immediately pour extra marinade over tofu. The pan will be very hot and the marinade should mostly cook off immediately,.
- Meanwhile, heat up pitas in oven or microwave. Cut in half and fill each one with tofu, tzatziki, and veggies.

SHAWARMA-SPICED TOFU PITA WRAPS
Squeezing the tofu to get rid of as much water as possible primes it to soak up oil, spices, and, in a word, flavor.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss onion and vinegar in a small bowl to coat; set aside.
- Squeeze tofu over a medium bowl, gently at first, then more firmly to expel as much water as possible (like squeezing out a big sponge). Don't worry if it starts to crack apart. When no more liquid comes out, tear tofu into 1" pieces. Arrange in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Toss with oil, then add coriander, paprika, red pepper flakes, cinnamon, and 1 tsp. salt. Toss well to coat. Roast tofu, turning once or twice, until crispy around the edges and well browned, 20-25 minutes (the tofu will get crispier as it cools, so don't be tempted to take it too far and dry it out in the oven).
- Stir yogurt and garlic in a small bowl; season with salt. Assemble by dividing yogurt among pitas, followed by tofu, cucumbers, drained pickled onion, and a handful of mint.

Steps:
- Combine ingredients in a bowl or Tupperware container. You want the marinade to cover at least half way up the tofu.
- Toss well and let marinate for 30 minutes to 12 hours, tossing half way through.
- Heat frying pan on medium high with a little olive oil, place tofu in frying pan and fry until golden brown. Add more salt as desired.
- Or skewer and roast on the BBQ!
- That's it it's that easy, Enjoy!
- You can add 1/4 cup of marinade into your rice water when your making rice for the most delicious rice ever! Just substitute some of the regular water for the marinade.
- You can make a reduction with the left over marinade by heating it in a pan over medium heat until it becomes thicker. Adding a splash of white wine in half way through is tasty as well but not needed. This is also a tasty dipping sauce.
- So good with Greek salad, pitas, tzatziki etc.

- Press the Tofu: Put the of Tofu in a Tofu press for 15 to 20 minutes. If you don't have a Tofu press, then slice the block of Tofu through the middle (so as to increase the surface area and shorten the pressing time) before putting the Tofu between two sheets of kitchen roll, or in a folded clean tea towel, and laying something heavy on top of it for 15-20 minutes. I often use a heavy, wipe clean cook book, or an iron skillet.
- Make the Marinade: Whilst the Tofu is pressing, place all of the ingredients for the Tofu Marinade in to a bowl and combine until it forms a smooth and reasonably thick, Ketchup like consistency.
- Place the Tofu in a Dish: Once the Tofu has been pressed for long enough, place in a shallow dish with a layer of marinade in the base.
- Cook the Tofu: Place 3-4 marinaded Tofu slices in a large pan together, and cook over a medium high heat for 3-4 minutes each side until the Tofu begins to crisp.
