This is probably one of the most flavorful tofu marinades I’ve discovered–the tofu really soaks up the flavor. I merged a few recipes…one here on Meatless Monday and  a moosewood recipe

Ingredients (I halved the original recipe the first few times I made this to make 2 decent sized portions). that’s what’s below.

• 1 cake of baked tofu
• 1 onion
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 T ginger
• juice of 1 lime
• 1 T soy sauce
• 1 T olive oil
• 1 1/2 T maple syrup or honey
• 1 t allspice
• 1 nutmeg
• 1 t cloves
• 1 t cinnamon
• 1 jalapeno pepper
• lime zest

♠ Equipment: food processor

The method:

1. Place all of the ingredients except the tofu into a food processor. Grind into a paste.
2. Scrape paste into a gallon sized ziploc bag.
3. Chop tofu into small pieces–2″ cubes.
4. Put tofu into ziploc. Seal and shake up
5. Refrigerate tofu in bag for a few hours–min 2 hours. overnight probably would be even better.
6. When it’s marinaded sufficiently, drizzle a little olive oil into a large skillet. heat. add tofu and marinade. cook until brown on all sides. (you can bake per other recipes, too).
7. enjoy. I paired this with a mango salsa.
