barbecue tofu-basil sandwich

ingredients:

extra firm tofu
extra virgin olive oil
barbecue sauce
basil
mayonnaise
mozzarella cheese
french bread

preparing the tofu:

take tofu out of packaging and wrap in a towel or a few layers of paper towels. Set it on a plate, set another plate on top of it, and place something heavy on top of the top plate. This will put pressure on the tofu to help soak as much water out of it as possible. Let it sit out like this for an hour.

unwrap the tofu and dry it off as much as possible. Slice it into four slices. Marinate in barbecue sauce in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.

preparing the sandwich:

grill the tofu for a few minutes on each side with a little bit of olive oil until it is heated through. Meanwhile, toast the cheese on the bread. Once the bread is toasted with the melted cheese on it, add the mayo, cooked tofu, and basil.
