Submitted by Kozmic Blues

"Perfect for topping a Greek-style salad, or a spinach and olive pizza! Leftover marinade makes a great base for a Greek-style salad dressing"

 

• Ready In: 24hrs 10mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 1 lb firm tofu, drained and pressed

• 1⁄4 cup white wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons miso

directions

1. Press the tofu between two plates, weighted down with some heavy cans or a cast iron pan, to drain the excess liquid out.

3. Wisk together the ingredients for the marinade in a large container with a lid.
4. Add the tofu to the marinade and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, preferably 2-3 days.

Loved this! Very easy to put together, and coupled with the miso and garlic, put this simple, but great recipe over the top. I let mine sit for 3 days...and used it in a vegan "Greek Salad" and it worked out beautifully, as the garlic really shined through, not to strong, but enough to give the tofu and nice subtle taste. Bravo for a great recipe, Kozmic! 10 stars plus!
