Remember my jerk tofu recipe from few weeks ago? I improved upon it. How? I got an idea from a recipe for pistachio crusted tofu. That one seemed a little too plain jane (and seemed like it wouldn’t have enough flavor). So again, I hybridized.
- 1 recipe jerk tofu. The change: i used extra firm tofu instead of baked tofu for this
- 1/4 c pistachios ground up
- a handful of panko breadcrumbs
- handful of coconut flour (to dry out the tofu a little)
- Make the marinade. Cut tofu into 6 pieces (I did triangular pieces but I don’t think it really matters). Marinade for 20-30 mins. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400.
- grind up the pistachios (I used a spice grinder). you will have some bigger pieces–use that for the end.
- Mix the bread crumbs, coconut flour, and pistachio. Coat each piece of tofu with this mixture (like breading).
- Mix the remaining marinade into the leftover topping. spoon on top of each piece, but save a little for when you pull it out of the oven.
- Place on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 mins–until golden.
- top with remaining topping.
- Enjoy!
