BARBECUED WAFFLE IRON TOFU

Servings 2

Ingredients

7 - 8 ounces extra firm tofu (half a package)
3 tablespoons Ketchup or tomato sauce
1 teaspoon barbecue rub or other barbecue seasoning
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce or gluten-free tamari
1/4 teaspoon spicy brown mustard or other prepared mustard
1 pinch sugar

Instructions

Drain the tofu and cut it into 3-4 equally thick pieces lengthwise. Place it on
paper towels or a clean tea towel, cover it with the same, and press gently with
your hands to remove some of the water.

On a shallow plate, mix the ketchup or tomato sauce with the barbecue rub, soy
sauce, and mustard. Combine well and add stevia or other sweetener a tiny pinch
at a time until you like the sweetness. Drag each piece of tofu through the
sauce until it's coated on all sides. Tofu in Barbecue Sauce

Preheat your waffle iron on its highest setting. Once it is hot, place the tofu
on the iron, distributing it equally. (Save the extra sauce to serve with the
tofu.) Gently close the waffle iron and set a timer for 4-5 minutes. Tofu on
Waffle Iron

Keep the waffle iron closed for at least 4 minutes (unless you smell something
burning--waffle irons vary, and you may need to make this recipe once before you
know how quickly yours cooks.) Slowly lift the lid to check on the progress of
the tofu. If it is not uniformly browned or still seems wet, gently close the
lid and give it more time. Check it in 1-2 minutes intervals until it is firm
and done. (Some pieces may cook more quickly than others, so remove them as they
get done.) Waffle Iron Tofu from FatFree Vegan Kitchen
