Grilled Tofu Shawarma Bowl

Ingredients

• 400 g Tofu, extra firm
• 60 ml Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
• 1 clove Garlic clove, minced
• 1 tsp Coriander seeds, ground
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Cumin, ground
• 1/2 tsp Cardamom, ground
• 1/2 tsp Turmeric, ground
• 1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp Sea salt
• 240 ml Coconut yogurt, unsweetened
• 2 tbsp Tahini
• 1 pcs Lemon, zested

Method

1. Press the tofu for at least 30 minutes to remove excess moisture.
2. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, spices and salt. Cut the tofu into large cubes and place in a shallow container. Pour over the marinade and make sure all the cubes are evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, up to overnight.
3. Preheat the grill to medium high heat and soak a few wooden skewers in water (if using).
4. Thread the cubes of tofu onto the skewers. Place directly on the grill or ideally a grill basket/tray, just in case the pieces fall off while turning. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, until lightly charred and crispy.
5. Serve fresh off the grill with tahini yogurt sauce, warm pita and a tomato cucumber salad if desired.
