Ingredients:

  • 1 x 220g pack of Cauldron Extra Firm Tofu (sliced into 1 cm thick slices)

  • 1/2 courgette, sliced into 1cm thick slices 

  • 1/2 aubergine, sliced into 1cm thick slices 

  • Lambs lettuce or salad leaves of your choice 

  • 4 cherry tomatoes, sliced 

For the Tofu Spice Crust

  • 1tsp garlic powder

  • 1tsp onion powder

  • ¼ tsp celery salt

  • ¼ tsp chilli flakes 

  • 1tbsp olive oil 

For the Chimichurri

  • 5 tbsp of fresh parsley, finely chopped

  • 2tsp fresh oregano, chopped

  • 1tsp dried oregano 

  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

  • ½ tsp dried chilli flakes

  • 1 fresh red chilli, finely chopped

  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar 

Method:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine all of the chimichurri ingredients and set aside. 

  2. Preheat a griddle pan to medium heat or air fryer with grill function to 185C. 

  3. In another mixing bowl, add the sliced Cauldron Extra Firm Tofu and coat with the oil and spice crust. Make sure that both sides are evenly coated. 

  4. Place the tofu on a griddle pan/in the air fryer and cook for 4 minutes each side. Serve aside. 

  5. Using the same bowl as the tofu to pick up any leftover spices, add the sliced courgette and aubergine. Then add 1 tbsp of the chimichurri sauce and mix to coat the veggies. 

  6. Add the veggies to the pan/air fryer then cook on each side for 5 minutes or until cooked through. 

  7. Assemble the finished dish with some fresh salad leaves, sweet tomatoes, crispy tofu and griddled veggies. Generously top these ingredients with the flavoursome chimichurri and serve immediately. Enjoy!
