Ingredients
- 12 oz extra-firm tofu, cut into ½-
- ¾-inch cubes
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, sliced
- 1/2 tsp salt (optional)
- 1 tbsp miso paste
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 ½-2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1/2 tsp maple syrup (optional)
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup green or kalamata olives
Method
- Combine the tofu, water, 1/4 cup vinegar, garlic, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, uncovered, 15-20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the miso, oregano, lemon juice, remaining vinegar, and maple syrup in a bowl, then stir in the olives.
- Drain the tofu (the garlic is fine to keep) and add it, still warm, to the marinade.
- Stir gently to coat, cover, and refrigerate.
- Keeps 5-6 days and gets better as it marinates.
