Recipe Of The Week – Marinated Tofu
Marinated tofu is brilliant at taking on the flavours of the marinade. Tofu itself is fairly tasteless but once it has soaked up these ingredients it is transformed. This is a great dish for lunch as it is so fast and easy, perfect for a main meal in the evening and one the whole family can enjoy.
