A very simple dish to prepare but if you want to ensure that as much of the flavor of the marinade is absorbed by the tofu and vegetables you should leave them to marinate in the sauce overnight.
Ingredients
450grams Firm Tofu Drained
180ml Italian Salad Dressing
340grams Yellow Summer Squash Cut Lengthwise Then Cut Into 2 Inch Pieces
2 Large Orange And/Or Red Sweet Peppers Seeded And Quartered
Hot Peppers Seeded (You Can Use As Many As You Want0
120grams Quinoa
120grams Quick Cooking Barley
120grams Shredded Sorrel Or Spinach
Instructions
1. Take the tofu and cut lengthwise in to 8 slices, which should be around ½ inch thick and placethese into a shallow baking dish. Pour over 60ml of the Italian salad dressing before then covering the dish with some plastic wrap and leave to one side.
2. Next take all the vegetables and place these into a large resealable bag that you then place indeep bowl. Over these pour 3 tablespoons of the dressing and close the bag before turning it over several times to make sure all the vegetables have been coated with the dressing. Place both the vegetables and tofu into the fridge along with the remaining dress and leave there for at least 4 hours.
3. Just before you start cooking the vegetables and tofu remove them from the dressing and discard any that remains. You should first place the vegetables on to the grill and cook these for between 6 and 8 minutes or until they are tender. Do not forget to turn them over half way through the cooking time to prevent them from burning.
4. Two minutes after you have placed the vegetables on the barbecue you can now place the tofuon. Just like the vegetables the tofu should be cooked over a medium heat and for around 4 to 6 minutes. Again making sure to turn them over once half way through cooking.
5. Once the tofu is cooked (should now be light brown in color) remove from barbecue and cut inhalf diagonally to form triangles. Then place to one side for serving shortly.
6. After removing the vegetables from the barbecue place in a bowl and pour over the remainingdressing and toss them very lightly to coat the vegetables with it.
