Instructions

Prepare tofu: Press tofu with tofu press or wrap in layers of paper towel or clean dish towel. Weigh down with a heavy object such as a cast iron frying pan with a couple tins of canned goods on top and press for at least 30 minutes. Cut into cubes (small or large) and add to a sealable container in a single layer if possible.
Make marinade: Whisk all the tofu marinade ingredients in a bowl.
Marinate tofu: Pour the marinade over the tofu so it is all coated. Cover and refrigerate tofu for at least 12 hours, preferably longer for best briny flavor -24 to 48 hrs
Serve and Enjoy! Enjoy in a salad, wrap, pita, etc,.. or toss with olives as a delicious appetizer. For photos, tips, suggestions and more see above post and notes section.

Notes

For tofu feta with olives: once tofu is marinated (12 hours), toss with a cup of pitted black or Kalamata olives and a cup of green olives (pimento or garlic stuffed) and the marinade. Serve as an appetizer with sliced baguette, crackers, etc,.. Really delicious! (recommend adding red pepper flakes for this)

To store: Keeps in sealed container for up to a week in fridge.
