I was inspired to create this vegan grilled jerk tofu recipe after visits to Jamaica where I found myself inhaling the aromas of jerk chicken. Try it!

Steps:
- Tofu
- Wrap tofu in 2 layers of paper towel, place on a rimmed baking sheet, and weigh down with something heavy (large cans or a small cast-iron skillet work well). Let sit 30 minutes. (Alternatively, press tofu in a tofu press 15-30 minutes.)
- Meanwhile, process red onions, scallions, garlic, chiles, thyme, ginger, allspice, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, lime juice, browning sauce (if using), black pepper, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a food processor or blender to a coarse purée. With motor running, stream in oil and process to a fine purée. Transfer jerk sauce to a bowl.
- Unwrap tofu and cut each block crosswise into 6 slices. Pour 1 cup jerk sauce into a baking dish, then add tofu slices and turn to coat. Set remaining jerk sauce aside for brushing and serving. Cover and chill tofu at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day. Do ahead: Jerk sauce can be made 3 weeks ahead. Cover and chill.
- Salsa
- Pulse lime juice, chile, mango, bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, agave (if using),and ½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or ¼ tsp. Morton kosher salt in a food processor just until coarsely chopped, 5-10 pulses. Taste salsa and season with more salt if needed. Transfer to a bowl; cover and chill until ready to serve.
- Plantains and assembly
- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; lightly oil grate. Arrange tofu on grate, cover, and grill, brushing with reserved jerk sauce as you turn tofu, until lightly browned and grill marks appear, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and brush with additional sauce, if desired.
- Meanwhile, mix brown sugar, vinegar, salt, pepper, and remaining ¼ cup oil in a small bowl. Brush cut sides of plantains generously with mixture.
- Arrange plantains, cut side down, on grate, cover, and grill, brushing all over with brown sugar mixture as you turn, until deep golden and grill marks appear, about 7 minutes per side. Transfer plantains to plates with tofu.
- Top tofu and plantains with scallions and serve with salsa and lime wedges.

PLANTAIN CHIPS WITH MANGO SALSA
I've had fried plantains many times, but recently I was at an ethnic restaurant where the plantain chips were thin and crunchy like potato chips. They were delicious-- I just had to run home and figure out how to make them! I serve mine up with mango salsa, for an extra kick of island flavor!

Steps:
- Combine salsa ingredients in a small bowl. Cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Carefully remove the peel from the plantains (this is easier if you score the peel with a pairing knife first).
- Using a mandolin, thinly slice the plantains on the diagonal (the thinner the plantains are, the crunchier they will be).
- Fill a heavy pot with about 1 inch of oil. Heat on med/ high heat to 360 degrees. Carefully add the plantain slices and fry until crisped.
- Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. When all of the plantain chips have fried, transfer to a serving plate and serve immediately with the mango salsa.

QUICK MANGO SALSA
A fruity salsa, great with pita chips. One guy I know was gonna pay me to make this for him. I like to let mine sit for at least an hour and give it a stir every so often. However, if you want to eat it right away.
