Best Recipe for Broiled, Marinated Tofu Sandwich
Ingredients
- 1 pound firm tofu
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 10 slices whole wheat bread
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 5 Roma tomatoes, sliced
- 1 cup arugula
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut tofu into 10 thin slices. Set on a baking sheet, cover with another baking sheet, and weigh down with something heavy, such as a large can of food. Drain until excess water is removed, at least 30 minutes.
- Heat olive oil in a small cast iron skillet over medium heat. Toast ground cumin, chili powder, and oregano in the hot oil until spices are aromatic, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Transfer oil and spice mixture to a saucepan over medium heat; stir in minced garlic, white wine vinegar, and white wine. Bring to a simmer, then remove marinade from heat.
- Place drained tofu into a glass dish; pour marinade over tofu. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
- Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
- Remove tofu from marinade; pat dry with paper towels and place on broiler rack. Broil on each side until skin is crisp, about 6 minutes per side.
- To assemble, spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread; place 2 tofu slices on 5 of the bread slices; top tofu with sliced tomato, arugula, red onion, salt, black pepper, and remaining slices of bread.
