25 min4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 350g pack firm tofu
  • 1/2 tbsp melted coconut oil
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Braggs Soy Seasoning (or tamari/soy sauce) ((if using tamari/soy, use slightly less as it's stronger in taste))
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed

Instructions

  1. 1

    Drain the tofu block from the water it’s in and cut it into about 4 slices, roughly 1cm thick each, then cut these in half, giving you 8 pieces total.

  2. 2

    Spread the slices on a non-stick skillet or frying pan and coat in coconut oil and 1 tbsp of Braggs Seasoning or tamari. Sprinkle with black pepper.

  3. 3

    On a medium-high stovetop heat, sauté the tofu in a frying pan for about 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Flip each slice over (they should be browned on the bottom) and re-coat with the remaining ½ tbsp of Braggs and black pepper.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle the crushed garlic between the tofu pieces and sauté for another 5-7 minutes, until the bottoms of the slices are browned.

  6. 6

    Remove from the heat and serve immediately.
