Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 block of extra firm tofu, pressed and cut into cubes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh thyme
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh rosemary
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice to make the marinade.
- Add the cubed tofu to the marinade, making sure it is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat the grill or oven to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Thread the marinated tofu cubes onto skewers, alternating with chopped fresh parsley, mint, basil, oregano, thyme, and rosemary.
- Grill or bake the skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the tofu is lightly charred and cooked through.
- Serve the tofu spiedie skewers with extra spiedie sauce for dipping, and enjoy!
The history of Spiedie Sauce dates back to the 1920s in Binghamton, New York, where Italian immigrants popularized this flavorful marinade. Today, a vegetarian twist on this classic dish involves marinating tofu skewers in a zesty blend of olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, and a mix of herbs and spices. Renowned chefs in upstate New York have put their own spin on this dish, infusing it with local flavors and serving it at popular restaurants in the region. For the best version of this dish, look for a well-balanced marinade that allows the tofu to soak up the flavors while retaining its tender texture. Alternatively, consider grilling the tofu skewers for a smoky, charred finish that adds depth to the dish.
