Caribbean Jerk Tofu with mango pineapple salsa
Brad isn’t always as excited as I am about my super healthified and/ or vegan experiments and, given the prominence of tofu in this one, I didn’t expect much praise.  Much to my surprise, not only did he have no complaints, he loved it as much as I did.

The tofu here is really just a vessel for the fiery, flavorful jerk sauce and the pineapple salsa brightens and refreshes at the same time.

To press the tofu, I create a stack consisting of, from the bottom up: kitchen counter top or table, dish towel, paper towels, tofu planks, more paper towels, another kitchen towel, large cutting board, Dutch oven or other heavy pot filled with canned goods.  You should have well-pressed tofu after about five minutes.  I actually like to flip the whole thing over and let it sit another 5 minutes for good measure.

I served this with sliced cucumbers for additional cooling but it would also be great over rice or lettuce for a hearty gluten-free vegan meal.
