Ingredients

For the Tofu:

1 12- oz package extra-firm tofu drained well
Spice rub recipe below
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

For the Spice Rub:

2 teaspoons dried cilantro flakes
2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon oregano
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
¾ teaspoon ground cumin
¾ teaspoon ground coriander
¾ teaspoon ground pepper
¼ teaspoon ground bay leaf
¾ teaspoon tamarind powder
¾ teaspoon turmeric powder

Instructions

Combine all the spice rub ingredients in a small bowl.
Rub olive oil and spice rub all over the tofu. Let it sit for about 15 minutes for the tofu to absorb the flavors.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. If you don’t have one, you can pan-sear the tofu in a frying pan.
Once the pan is hot, grill or sear the tofu steaks for 4 minutes per side, or until golden. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

This tofu is best served with fresh arugula salad.
You can multiply and do a large batch of the spice rub. Store it in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid and keep it away from humid places like near the stove, oven, or refrigerator.
For Low Histamine Meal Plan, modify: remove paprika and red pepper flakes.
