12oz firm or extra firm tofu (340g)
1 tablespoon neutral oil (canola, sunflower etc.)
2/3 cup roasted red pepper (150g or 5.2oz)
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon hot sauce (vinegar-based, see notes)
1 medium onion
3 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 tablespoons vinegar (ACV, red wine or white wine vinegar)
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup vegetable stock (or substitute water)
3 tablespoons coconut cream (optional)
Peri peri tofu is really easy to make and easy to customize as well. First, gather your ingredients and prepare them. I recommend checking out the picture below to make sure you’ve got the right ingredients.
Optionally, press the tofu for between ten minutes to half an hour. Slice into two-inch pieces that are half an inch thick.
Add the oil to a skillet (preferably one with ridges) and heat on high. Fry tofu on top and bottom for one-two minutes on each side until golden.
Peel the onion and garlic, cut the onion into four. Add with all the remaining ingredients to a blender or food processor and process until smooth.
Place the tofu and sauce in a pot and heat on high. When at a lively simmer, reduce heat to medium-low and cook for around fifteen minutes or until the sauce has thickened to your liking, stirring occasionally to prevent the tofu from sticking.
