We made this for dinner tonight. I forgot to put it all in the marinade in
advance, so marinated the tofu alone while the coals were heating. We
don't eat tofu much, but enjoyed this. I used the orange marinade and
think that I will make it again next weekend and try one of the other
marinades.
I feel somewhat guilty posting something with this much fat, but I did
check the guidelines and the Ornish books first.
I served this with couscous and cantaloupe.
