Ingredients
- 1 block extra firm tofu
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 4 sandwich rolls
- 1 onion
- 1 bell pepper
Instructions
-
Prep the Tofu: Begin by draining the tofu and then cutting it in half horizontally to create two thinner pieces. Next, wrap the tofu in a clean towel and press it between two baking sheets, adding some weight on top. Pop it into the refrigerator for an hour or more to firm it up.
-
Marinate the Tofu: Unwrap the tofu and place it in a shallow baking dish. Spoon half a cup of barbecue sauce over the tofu, ensuring it’s generously coated. Cover the dish and let the tofu marinate in the refrigerator for several hours, or for an intensified flavor, let it soak up the goodness for up to five days.
-
Bake the Tofu: Once marinated to perfection, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly oil a baking sheet and transfer the marinated tofu onto it. Bake for 1 hour or until the tofu is golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges.
-
Prepare the Sandwich Rolls: While the tofu is baking, slice open the sandwich rolls and prepare them for their flavorful filling.
-
Assemble the Sandwiches: Once the tofu is ready, slice it into thin pieces and divide it evenly among the sandwich rolls.
-
Prepare the Fixings: In a sauté pan, cook the sliced onion and bell pepper until they’re tender and caramelized. Mix them with the remaining barbecue sauce to create a delicious topping for your sandwiches.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Spoon the sautéed onions, bell peppers, and barbecue sauce mixture over the tofu-filled rolls. Serve hot and watch as everyone devours these delectable No Blues BBQ Sandwiches!
