Jerk Tofu over Sweet Potato Mash

Print Options
Description
Because I am not a huge tofu fan (it is really difficult to make it taste good), I am often on the lookout for ways to make it taste better. This is definitely one of them. If you really hate tofu you can use another meat alternative, such as seitan, or tempeh. This marinade would go great as a dressing for any roasted vegetable as well (if you really don’t dig the tofu idea).
Ingredients
- 1 block (12 To 14 Oz. Block) Tofu, Sliced Into 8, Drained Of Water
- 2 whole Green Onions, Chopped (garnish)
- _____
- FOR THE MARINADE:
- ⅛ cups Oil
- ½ cups Vegetable Stock
- 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh Minced Ginger
- ¼ cups Molasses
- ⅛ cups Lime Juice
- ⅛ cups Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon Hot Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
- ½ teaspoons Cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoons Nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoons Crushed Cloves
- ½ teaspoons Sea Salt
- 1 pinch Pepper
- _____
- FOR THE SWEET POTATO MASH:
- 2 whole Sweet Potatoes, Chopped (you Can Peel Them If You Like)
- ⅛ cups Milk Alternative
- 1 Tablespoon Margarine
- ½ Tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 1 pinch Salt And Pepper
Preparation
1. Whisk all ingredients of the jerk marinade together. Place prepared tofu slices into shallow dish and pour marinade on top. Allow to marinate for at least 2 hours (but overnight is best).
2. For the mash, boil sweet potato until tender. Drain water, mash roughly with the other ingredients, and set aside.
3. For the tofu, heat a large pan over medium heat. Brown both sides of the tofu (about 4 minutes on each side). When browned, pour in additional marinade and allow to bubble until the marinade reduces, shaking constantly (about 1 minute more). You can also grill the tofu, adding additional marinade, reducing the marinade separately.
Serve tofu on top of the potato mash, drizzled with any extra sauce, and garnished with green onions, if desired. Enjoy!
