To cut tofu into planks, simply slice a block of tofu crosswise into eight equal sections.
Ingredients
- 4 limes, juiced, divided
- 2 tbsp jerk seasoning (TRY: Primal Palate Organic Spices Jerk Seasoning)
- 2 tbsp minced ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 14-oz pkgs organic extra-firm tofu, each cut into 8 planks, pressed with paper towel to remove liquid
- 2 mangos, peeled, pitted and diced
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, loosely packed
- Sea salt, to taste
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup slivered almonds
- ¼ cup shredded unsweetened coconut, toasted
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine one-half of the lime juice with jerk seasoning, ginger and garlic. Add tofu; gently turn to coat. Set aside. (TIP: For more intense flavor, marinate in the fridge for 20 minutes or longer.)
- Prepare salsa: In a large bowl, toss together mango, cilantro and remaining one-half of lime juice. Season with salt, to taste. Set aside.
- In a large skillet on medium-high, heat oil. Working in batches, add tofu and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, flipping once, until golden brown. Serve tofu with mango salsa and top with almonds and coconut.
