Spiced yogurt does two jobs here as both the marinade and the sauce for this grilled tofu recipe.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon garam masala
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
1 clove garlic, grated
1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger
¾ cup whole-milk plain yogurt
½ teaspoon salt, divided
½ teaspoon ground pepper
2 tablespoons lime juice, plus lime wedges for garnish
1 bunch broccolini, trimmed
1 medium red bell pepper, thickly sliced
1 14- to 16-ounce package water-packed extra-firm tofu, cut into 4 slices and patted dry
fresh cilantro for garnish
Directions:
Preheat grill to medium-high.
Heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add chili powder, garam masala, turmeric, garlic and ginger; cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in yogurt, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Transfer 1/4 cup to a small bowl and stir in lime juice and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
Add broccolini and bell pepper to the medium bowl and toss to coat. Transfer to a plate. Add tofu to the medium bowl and gently toss to coat.
Oil the grill rack. Grill the tofu, broccolini and bell pepper, flipping once halfway through, until slightly charred, 6 to 10 minutes. Drizzle with the reserved sauce and serve with cilantro and lime wedges, if desired.
