Ingredients

500g firm Tofu (NOT silken)
3 tsp Vegetable stock powder
3 Tbs of Tamari
Olive oil
Vinegar
fresh Herbs (such as lemon thyme and rosemary)
freshly ground Black pepper
2 cloves of Garlic
Hot water
Cold water

Instructions

Freeze, thaw, wash and drain tofu. Slice the tofu into steaks (approximately 1/2 to 1cm thickness) and set aside. Roughly chop the garlic making sure not to cut it too finely or it will burn on the hot plate. Add the garlic, stock powder, tamari, a dash of olive oil and vinegar, pepper, roughly chopped herbs to taste to a large container. Add enough hot water to dissolve the stock. Add around half a cup of cold water and stir. Place tofu steaks into the container and add enough cold water to just cover the tofu. Put it in the fridge for at least 1 hour to marinade. Place tofu onto a hot, oiled BBQ plate and cook to your liking. Remember to spoon the marinade over the tofu regularly as you cook it to prevent it drying out and to add more flavour.
