Ingredients

  • 400 gms (0.89 lb) extra-firm tofu
  • 2 tbsps olive oil
  • 2 tbsps lemon juice
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 2 tsps dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 1 cucumber
  • 240 mls (1 cup) Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsps fresh dill
  • 2 tbsps fresh mint
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Press the tofu to remove excess water. Cut it into 1-inch cubes.
  2. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, and salt. Add tofu cubes and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. While the tofu marinates, prepare the tzatziki sauce. Grate the cucumber and squeeze out excess water.
  4. In a bowl, combine the grated cucumber, Greek yogurt, chopped dill, chopped mint, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.
  5. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Thread the marinated tofu cubes onto skewers.
  6. Grill the tofu skewers for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve the tofu souvlaki with the tzatziki sauce on the side or drizzled over the top.

Notes

  • This tofu souvlaki with tzatziki sauce is a delicious and healthy vegetarian alternative to the traditional Greek dish.
  • Marinating the tofu is key to infusing it with flavors, so allow some time for it.
