TOFU SOUVLAKIA
300gm firm Natures Kitchen tofu
1 lemon (zest & juice)
1/4 cup olive oil
10 small bunch fresh oregano (washed, just leaves)
1 tbl dr oregano
1 tbl dijon mustard
1 tbl honey (use maple syrup if you prefer to keep it vegan)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
Salt (to taste)
Few cracks black pepper
3-6 small skewer stick (allowed to sit in water before hand if using wood based ones)
Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius
Start by drying the tofu sing paper towel and pushing down a little to get out any extra liquid, then cut the tofu into 9 equal cube pieces. If you’re short on time, feel free to cut into 18 smaller pieces for a faster cook.
In a bowl add the rest of the ingredients above and bring together. Add the tofu in and allow to marinade by rolling around gently, as to not break. Skewer onto the skewer sticks, 3 per and then sit on a lined tray. Spoon the marinade on top and finish with a drizzle of olive oil on top.
Place in oven for 40 minutes, before popping the grill to get it super charred, you can go hard for tofu.
