BBQ Tofu Sandwich

From EatingWell: May/June 2010

Though vegetarian BBQ may be an oxymoron, once you take a bite of this delicious tofu sandwich topped with coleslaw and dill pickles you won’t mind the contradiction. Serve with: Baked beans and corn on the cob.

Loved these burgers!

These burgers are an easy weeknight dinner, are very delicious and--best of all--my vegetable averse teenager loved them. I doubled the recipe so had lots of leftovers. They make great cold lunch sandwiches for the next day.

Pros: A hit with my vegetable averse teenager!

I don't really like coleslaw, so I was going to just go without it but decided to try the dressing with lettuce instead. I loved it!

Also, I may have done something wrong because the tofu took at least 10 minutes per side to brown on medium heat, not 4 as the recipe said. I'd never made tofu before, so I have no idea what it should have done. Any thoughts? It still came out a decent consistency (as far as I could tell, anyway!)

This recipe doesn't suggest draining the tofu of excess water first. I'll skip that step depending on how I'm preparing the tofu but for something like this it's worth a little extra effort. To drain tofu, place between several layers of paper towel on a baking tray or cutting board and place another small tray or board (or plate) on top and weight it with a large can (28 oz can tomatoes works well). To do a super-duper job, tilt the baking tray a tad by propping it up near the sink with a can of tuna (or whatever you find that works) to let the excess drain out of the tray and into the sink. Do this about 10 minutes before preparing and your tofu will be dryer and brown faster. Another option is to pat it dry with paper towel and very lightly dust it in cornstarch.

I made this recipe during a BBQ we had the other day. It was pretty good. Im trying to eat less meat, and so this was a great alternative to the Bbq chicken and Carne Asada my family made. In fact, some of them were eyeing my sandwich! I used the recipe from the P90x coleslaw that I had, and used whole wheat sandwich rolls instead of the recommended bread but it was still good.

Made the recipe just as written and really enjoyed it! I could take or leave the onions but loved the slaw on the sandwich plus it was really fast and easy. I'll defnitely be making this again.

Tofu will take on any flavor. So, for those of you that are kind of timid to use this Earth's amazing food, I I promise you good/delicious eating - frying your tofu squares, MY WAY.

Instead of the bottled barbecue sauce, try toss your tofu in this MIX:

I/2 cup Whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup corn-meal, a bit of crushed peppercorns, a bit of chili powder (if U like it hot) a bit of cinnamon powder, 1 tsp. of chicken powder,
And a good heaping spoon or Onion powder.

Roll the tofu squares to your hearts content in THE MIX, and deep fry them.... OH LALALA! YUM!

To shy away from processed bread, you may try whole grain buns or whole wheat Flat bread. Enjoy! CATCH THE RIPPLES!
