Mediterranean Tofu

You may add other veggies to the dish such as kale or sliced red peppers.

Ingredients:

• 450g/1lb firm tofu, plain
• 2 tbsp plain low sodium soy sauce or gluten free tamari – if using tamari, reduce to 1-1½ tbsp as it is stronger
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
• 2 tsp grated fresh ginger (or use ready grated ginger in a jar)
• ½ tsp dried rosemary
• 1 heaped tsp paprika
• Black pepper
• 6 small-medium tomatoes, eg cherry or plum. A mixture of red and yellow looks particularly pretty

Method:

1. Pre-heat oven to 450°F

2. Drain the tofu in a colander, place a clean cloth on top of it and weigh down with something heavy like tins of baked beans, pressing gently to remove some of the excess liquid. Then cut into medium-sized cubes.

3. In a medium oven dish (approximately 8 x 5 inches), place all the ingredients. Using clean hands or a large spoon, gently toss everything together so that the tofu is evenly coated.

4. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cubes are brown on top.

5. Gently turn over the cubes so the paler bits get a chance to brown.

6. Return to the oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes.
