Method

  • First prepare the chimichurri sauce:
  • place the parsley, garlic cloves, salt, pepper, chilli, shallot or onion, 1/4 cup oil, red wine vinegar and lemon juice ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulse until well chopped, but not pureed.
  • Set aside.
  • To prepare the rub:

  • Place tofu in a grill pan coated with oil or directly on the cooking grate over direct heat.
  • Cook for 3-4 minutes.
