Recipe:
Ingredients:
– 400g silken tofu
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
– 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
– 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
– 1 tbsp fresh oregano, chopped
– 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
– 2 tbsp lemon juice
– 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
– 1 clove garlic, minced
– 1 tsp dried oregano
– Salt and black pepper, to taste
Method:
Carefully drain the silken tofu and cut it into thick slices or cubes, depending on your preference. Arrange the tofu on a serving dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade evenly over the tofu, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavours to meld.
While the tofu is marinating, prepare the topping. In a mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, fresh parsley, basil, and oregano. Toss gently to mix.
Once the tofu has marinated, remove it from the refrigerator. Spoon the tomato and herb mixture over the tofu, spreading it evenly.
Drizzle a bit more olive oil over the top and add an extra sprinkle of salt and black pepper if desired.
Serve the marinated silken tofu immediately, or let it sit for a few more minutes to absorb more flavour. Enjoy it as a light main course or as a refreshing appetiser.

I usually make an Asian sesame type version of this, I’m excited to see another variation! Will try
I mean it looks amazing, but how good is cold firm tofu really?
