Description

These vegetarian lettuce wraps are piled with spicy-sweet jerk grilled tofu and pineapple salsa. A quick and easy, healthy meal for Summer grilling!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE MARINADE:
  • 1 teaspoon Habanero Chili, Diced
  • ½ cups Red Onion, Roughly Chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger, Minced
  • 2 teaspoons Fresh Garlic, Minced
  • 1 Tablespoon Plus 1 Teaspoon Fresh Thyme Leaves
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons Allspice Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Nutmeg Powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Plus 1 Teaspoon Coconut Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Reduced Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Fresh Lime Juice
  • 1 Tablespoon Plus 1 Teaspoon Olive Oil + Additional To Oil The Grill
  • 1 package (14 Oz. Size) Firm Tofu
  • Salt/pepper
  • FOR THE SALSA:
  • ⅔ cups Pineapple, Chopped
  • 3 Tablespoons Red Onion, Minced
  • 2 teaspoons Fresh Lime Juice
  • 1-½ Tablespoon Cilantro, Minced
  • Salt/pepper
  • 1 head Iceberg Lettuce

Preparation

Note the tofu should marinate for at least 2 hours, up to overnight.

1. In a small food processor (mine is 3 cups), combine the chili, red onion, ginger, garlic, thyme, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, coconut sugar, soy sauce, lime juice, oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend, scraping the sides down every so often, until a slightly chunky paste forms. Set aside.
2. Cut the tofu in half, and then cut each half into 3 slices, each about 1/2 inch thick.
3. Place the tofu on a layer of paper towel and then cover with an additional layer and press out the moisture. Repeat with new paper towels until you’ve squeezed as much moisture out as possible. I did this 4 times.
4. Place the tofu in a large dish and pour the marinade over top. Turn the tofu over and rub the marinade on top to make sure both sides get evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours up to overnight.
5. Preheat your grill to high heat for 10 minutes. Once hot, scrape the grill down really clean and rub it generously with olive oil (a super clean and oiled grill is one of the keys to crispy tofu).
6. Scrape any excess chunks of marinade off the tofu (reserve the marinade for later), and place the slabs on the outside edges of the grill, where the heat is indirect and turn the grill down to low. Close the lid and cook until the outside of the tofu is lightly crispy and has nice grill marks, about 10-13 minutes. Flip and cook an additional 10-13 minutes.
7. While the tofu cooks, combine the chopped pineapple, red onion, lime juice and cilantro in a medium bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
8. Once the tofu is cooked remove it from the grill. Rub the reserved excess marinade on each slab and finely chop into small cubes.
9. Spoon the tofu into the lettuce leaves, top with salsa and devour.
