Barbecued Tofu

Ingredients:

14-ounces firm or extra firm tofu*

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt

¾ cup BBQ sauce

Directions:

Remove tofu from the package and wrap in a clean towel or a couple of paper towels and allow it to drain for about 15 minutes.

Cut into cubes. I like to keep the cubes big enough to turn over in the pan easily. About 1 ½ inches by 2 inches.

Heat the olive oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the pieces of tofu. Be careful not to splash oil on yourself.

Cook for about 5 minutes, then turn to a different side. I try to get all sides evenly browned.

Once the tofu is golden brown on all sides, turn heat to low and add your barbecue sauce. Simmer for about 5 minutes, remove from heat, and serve immediately.

Good to Know:

Tofu is made of soybeans and contains no cholesterol. Tofu is an excellent source of iron and calcium. It is a great source of protein, too.
