This recipe is perfect for vegetarians and anyone looking to add a flavorful, plant-based meal to their repertoire.
- Press the tofu before marinating: Pressing the tofu helps remove excess moisture, allowing it to absorb the marinade better, resulting in a more flavorful dish. You can use a tofu press or place the tofu between paper towels and put something heavy on top.
- Marinate for at least 30 minutes: For best results, allow the tofu to marinate for at least 30 minutes. This gives enough time for the flavors to penetrate the tofu. If you have more time, you can even marinate it overnight in the refrigerator.
- Use a non-stick pan or cast-iron skillet: When cooking the tofu, use a non-stick pan or a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet. This will help prevent the tofu from sticking and ensure even browning.
- Dicing tofu uniformly: Cut the tofu into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking. This will help each piece get the same amount of flavor and maintain the same texture throughout the dish.
This herbed tofu is a delightful and versatile dish that can be enjoyed on its own, or paired with rice, vegetables, or a fresh salad. The combination of lemon, thyme, and black pepper creates a flavorful profile that is both refreshing and satisfying. Whether you are a tofu aficionado or trying it for the first time, this recipe is sure to impress.
