How to Make Barbecued Tofu
- Press 1 block (14 oz) extra-firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Freeze for at least 2 hours, then thaw completely and press again. Chop into 1-inch cubes.
- Saute 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, in 1 tablespoon olive oil until softened (about 5 minutes). Add 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional).
- Add 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped, and saute until bright green and slightly tender (about 5 minutes).
- In a bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup BBQ sauce, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard.
- Combine the sauteed vegetables and the BBQ sauce mixture.
- Pour the sauce over the tofu cubes in a shallow baking dish.
- Bake, covered, at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes.
- Uncover and bake for another 30 minutes, stirring frequently, until the tofu is nicely browned and the sauce has thickened.
- Serve over rice or your favorite grain. Garnish with sesame seeds (optional).
