Serves: 4 Prep time: 20 minutes Cook time: 10 minutes
3 tablespoons low-sodium, gluten-free tamari
2 tablespoons sesame oil
16 ounces organic firm tofu, cut into 8 slices
2 zucchini, sliced on the bias into ¼-inch pieces
1 bunch (3 ounces) fresh basil, stems removed
1 bunch (2 cups) fresh cilantro, stems removed
2 cloves garlic, chopped
½-inch piece gingerroot, peeled and chopped
3 scallions, trimmed and roughly chopped
¼ cup pine nuts or raw walnuts
½ cup extra virgin olive oil (reserve 1 tablespoon for serving)
4 ounces arugula or other favorite greens
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Prepare the grill, or use a grill pan. In a large bowl, combine the tamari and sesame oil; add the tofu and zucchini slices and marinate for 10 minutes. Grill the zucchini first, about 2 minutes on each side, then the tofu for about 3 minutes on each side. Set aside.
Place all the ingredients except the arugula or other greens, the salt and pepper, and the reserved 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a food processor and pulse until smooth. If necessary, add 2 tablespoons of water for a thinner consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
