BBQ Brisket...Veggie Style!

BBQ Brisket…Veggie Style!

I use to love BBQ!  Yup, ribs and especially brisket!  I was able to design a dry rub, use it on tofu and it turned out FANTASTIC!

There are a few options to the procedure, which I will post at the end.

When ready to bake, Pre-heat oven to 375.

Ingredients:

1 Package of Extra Firm Tofu (use 2 if you have company or want to save some for another meal)

2-3 TBL of Olive Oil

Dry Rub:

½ Cup of brown sugar (see options)

2 TB of Oregano

2 TB of coarsely ground pepper

2 TB of Garlic powder

2 TB of Chili Powder

1 TB of Dry Mustard

 

Thoroughly mix the dry ingredients, add Olive Oil, mix again.

Slice the tofu in ¼” slices; lay on a cookie sheet, lined with parchment paper.  Spread the dry rub evenly over the tofu.  

Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes.

Options and other ideas!

**Refrigerate for a few hours or overnight to really let the flavors blend.

**If you like your tofu more of a meat texture, freeze the tofu, in it’s package, defrost, then proceed with the recipe.  The thawed tofu has a different texture, more of a meat consistency

** I like to make my own brown sugar, just thoroughly mix regular sugar with molasses (1/2 cup of sugar, 2 TB of Molasses).

**Feel Free (and you should) to add or change some of the dry rub ingredients.

**Serve with Coleslaw and BBQ sauce!
