Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
Press the extra firm tofu for at least 20-30 minutes to remove excess water, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.
Aproximativ 30 min.
Nota bucătarului: Pressing the tofu helps it absorb the marinade better and achieve a firmer texture when cooked.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Aproximativ 2 min.
3
Add the cubed tofu to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
Aproximativ 30 min.
Nota bucătarului: Marinating longer will enhance the flavor of the tofu.
4
While the tofu marinates, prepare the salad by combining the diced cucumber, diced tomato, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped fresh parsley in a small bowl.
Aproximativ 5 min.
5
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Aproximativ 5 min.
6
Thread the marinated tofu cubes onto skewers, if using. Alternatively, you can grill them directly on the grill surface.
Aproximativ 3 min.
Nota bucătarului: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.
7
Grill the tofu for 3-4 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until golden brown with nice grill marks and heated through.
Aproximativ 12 min.
Nota bucătarului: Avoid overcrowding the grill to ensure even cooking.
8
Warm the pita bread on the grill for about 30 seconds per side, or until soft and pliable.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: A quick warm-up makes the pita easier to fold and more enjoyable.
9
Assemble the souvlaki by placing grilled tofu into each warm pita bread, topping with the fresh salad, and a dollop of vegan tzatziki, if desired.
Aproximativ 2 min.
