Lemon Basil Tofu

Ingredients

• 3 ounces lemon juice
• 2 Tbs soy sauce
• 2 ounces apple cider vinegar
• 2 Tbs Dijon mustard
• 1½ tsp sugar
• 3 Tbs olive oil
• 4 Tbs chopped basil
• 2 blocks firm or extra-firm tofu, well pressed

Preparation

1. Whisk together all ingredients except tofu, and transfer to a baking dish.
2. Slice tofu into ½-inch-thick strips or triangles.
3. Place tofu in the marinade and coat well. Allow to soak for at least an hour, or overnight. (Toss it now and again.)
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
5. Bake for 15 minutes. Toss, and bake for another 10-12 minutes. Garnish with more chopped basil, if desired.

Serve over rice.

Adapted from the Everything Vegan Cookbook by doubling most of the marinade (except the oil).
