HARISSA TOFU & GRILLED PEACH SALAD
The spicy Moroccan harissa lifts TOFU to another dimension. This salad can also be served in a wrap as a lunch snack with a drizzle of lemon-flavoured olive oil and rocket.
SERVES 4
500 g extra firm tofu
2 Tbsp harissa paste
2 Tbsp tamari
2 Tbsp olive oil
Juice of 1 lime
3 fresh peaches, halved and pitted
35 g packet nut and seed sprinkles
1. Place the tofu on kitchen paper and press to remove as much moisture a possible.
2. Combine the harissa, tamari, olive oil and lime juice in a blender and blend well.
3. Place the tofu in a shallow bowl and pour in the harissa mixture.
4. Make sure the tofu is completely covered with the harissa mixture. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for 4 hours.
5. Make sure the grill is clean and well oiled and the coals are medium to hot heat (about 180°C).
6. Place the tofu on the braai grid and braai for 5 minutes, turning by 90 degrees halfway through the cooking time to form a crisscross pattern.
7. Turn the tofu over and braai for 5 minutes, again turning it by 90 degrees halfway through the cooking time. Cut the tofu into cubes.
8. Place the peach halves on the grid and braai for 2 minutes. Remove from the braai, cool and cut into cubes.
9. Mix the tofu with the peaches, sprinkle with the nut and seed mix to garnish and serve as a side salad.
