Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
12 ounces firm tofu (Chinese-style)
1/2 teaspoon each ground cumin, chili powder and dried oregano
1/4 cup olive oil
1 medium clove minced garlic
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup dry white wine
4 thick slices whole wheat bread, lightly toasted
Chili mayonnaise (see below)
Sliced tomato, washed arugula and,
optional: slices of radicchio
Salt and freshly ground black pepper


Cut tofu into 1-inch thick slices. Drain. Set them on a sheet, cover with
another baking pan or cookie sheet and weight down with something heavy;
drain for at least 1/2 hour to remove excess water.

In a small cast iron skillet toast cumin, chili and oregano until they emit
a lovely aroma. Remove to a nonreactive saucepan and add olive oil, garlic,
vinegar and white wine. Bring to a simmer. Transfer drained and weighted
tofu to a ceramic or glass dish and pour marinade over tofu. Cover with
plastic and refrigerate for a day at least or, for up to 3 to 4 days.

Preheat the broiler. Remove marinated tofu, pat dry and broil, about 6
inches away from the heat until crispy on each side.

Spread bread with mayonnaise; slice tofu in half to make 1/2-inch slices
and set over mayonnaise. Top with tomato, arugula and onion if you wish.
Spread second slice of toasted bread with chili mayo and cover sandwich.

Yield: 2 servings
