Memphis-style Barbecue Tofu
From lizmari 17 years agoIngredients
- 2 packages (15 oz) Extra-firm tofu ; pressed shopping list
- 1 tablespoon butter ; (or vegan margarine) shopping list
- 1/4 cup onion ; finely chopped shopping list
- 1 bottle (12 oz) catsup ; (choose a good-tasting brand, such as Henry's Grandma's catsup, or use homemade) shopping list
- 1/4 cup chili sauce ; (not the Thai kind; Heinz makes a decent brand) shopping list
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar ; firmly packed shopping list
- 3 tablespoons molasses shopping list
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard shopping list
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice shopping list
- 1 tablespoon Vegetarian worcestshire sauce shopping list
- 1 tablespoon liquid smoke shopping list
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder ; (or granulated garlic) shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper shopping list
- 1 teaspoon chili powder shopping list
- dash cayenne powder ; (or to taste) shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cut one of the blocks of tofu into bite-sized cubes (about the size of dice), and crumble the other block of tofu into small chunks (bite-sized and smaller). Place the tofu in a lightly oiled baking dish (large enough so that you only have one layer). Cook until tofu is lightly browned and slightly chewy, tossing every 15 minutes or so (it should take about an hour or two to cook the tofu properly).
- While the tofu is cooking, prepare the sauce: In a saucepan, slowly saute the chopped onion in butter until soft and just beginning to turn yellow. Add remaining ingredients. Simmer about 15 minutes. Taste, and adjust seasonings.
- Combine sauce and tofu in a baking dish, and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes (note that this is about how long it takes to bake biscuits to go with the barbecue tofu).
