Grilled Tofu with Chimichurri, Roasted Potatoes, and Roasted Bell Peppers


I grilled the tofu on an indoor grill. (These are very underrated. Easy to clean, cooks fast, and does not produce the amount of heat a stove does.) The potatoes and the peppers present a slightly different take on roasting. Overall, this was a great meal with not much fuss.

Directions--Tofu
Drain the tofu well
Heat an indoor grill on medium heat
When the grill is ready rub some oil on the grill
Brush the tofu with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper
Place the tofu at "ten o'clock" and cook for 5 minutes; rotate the tofu to "two o'clock" and cook for another 5 minutes; do the same for the other side (Rotating the tofu this way gives it the cross-grill marks)
Remember to place the presentation side on the grill first

2 Cloves Garlic, Diced
1/3 Cup Red Wine Vinegar
