directions

  • 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.

  1. Loved this, although I did make a few changes. I did not mix the Feta, tomatoes, and olives, and instead put them on a plate along with some chopped green onions so everyone could take as much as they liked. I also just got regular, pocket-less pitas which I prefer. The tofu marinade is great; the thyme almost gives a slight meaty flavor to the tofu. [Made & Reviewed for Please Review My Recipe]
     
  2. Yum! Really loved this recipe - didn't even marinade the tofu for an hour, but it was super favorable. Will 100% make again.
