How do I grill Tofu?
I have some friends coming over and one of them is a vegetarian. she said that she would love some Tofu so I bought it and now I have a problem because I don't know how to properly grill it. What spices/marinates go best with Tofu? how long do I grill it? thanks :)

I got this one!! Let me tell you...you're gonna love it! I serve it to everyone at my house, even the non-veggie people and they all love it. First thing is this...open the tofu package and drain out the water. Put a dish towel on the counter and set the tofu on the towel. Put another dish towel on top of the tofu. Then place two heavy books on the top of that so the excess water gets squeezed out of the tofu. (TRUST ME) Let it sit that way for a while...at least a half hour. After you're done with that, slice the tofu into nice thick slabs...maybe 3/4" thick. Put it into a pan and pour Italian dressing all over it. Turn the pieces around so they're all covered in the dressing. Let that marinate for at least a half hour. (I marinate veggies in this as well, it's delicious!) Grill as usual, just like anything else. It does stick to the grill, though, so have a spatula ready to scrape it off. It is soooo yummy! When we do it, I always grill extra to have on hand in the fridge, and I can't keep my hands off of it til it's all gone. :o) I hope you try this, and I hope you love it as much as we do!
