Grilled Tofu with Peanut Sauce
Ingredients
- Ingredients
- 200 grams shelled Peanuts
- 400 milliliters Coconut milk
- 4 Tbsps Peanut butter
- ½ tsp Curry powder
- 1 whole lemon (zested and juiced)
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 2 Tbsps soy sauce
- 2 Tbsps Orange juice
- 800 grams Tofu
- freshly cut mint (for garnish)
Preparation steps
Toast the peanuts in a dry skillet until fragrant. Allow to cool then grind with a mortar or chop very finely. Combine the coconut milk and peanut butter in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir in the crushed peanuts, lemon zest and juice and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Whisk together the honey, soy sauce and orange juice. Slice the tofu into 8 pieces about 3 cm (approximately 1 inch) thick. Place in a shallow dish, cover with the marinade and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
Heat a grill or grill pan to high. Remove the tofu from the refrigerator and score several times, diagonally, with a sharp knife. Brush with a bit of the peanut sauce and grill for about 5 minutes per side.
Arrange on a serving platter and serve with the remaining peanut sauce.
