This is one of my favourite ways to cook tofu, it's delicious eaten as a salad but would also be great served with wraps instead!

Kebab Salad

Ingredients

for the tofu and chickpeas

  • 225g extra firm smoked tofu, drained
  • 1 400g can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground garlic
  • 1 tsp ground onion
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp flaky salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground pepper

for the pickled red onion and cabbage

  • 50g red cabbage, finely sliced
  • 1 small red onion, peeled and finely sliced
  • 100ml apple cider vinegar/wine vinegar

for the salad

  • 50g romaine lettuce, shredded
  • 75g cucumber, finely diced
  • 75g tomatoes, finely chopped
  • 10g parsley, finely chopped
  • 1-2 tbsp chilli sauce (I used sriracha)
  • 4 pickled green chillies, finely chopped

for the dressing

  • 75g greek yoghurt
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 2 tsp apple cider vinegar/wine vinegar
  • Pinch of salt
  • About 1 tbsp of water

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 220c/200c fan.
  2. Mix 1 tbsp of olive oil, the spices and salt in a small bowl.
  3. Using a peeler, shave the tofu into thin slices. After a while it becomes a bit difficult to continue shaving the tofu, so instead, crumble the remaining tofu into small pieces. Place in a large bowl then add the spice mix and stir well.
  4. Place the tofu and chickpeas on a large shallow baking tray. Pour a bit of olive oil on the chickpeas and a sprinkle of salt. Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden.
  5. For the pickled onion and red cabbage, in a small bowl or jar, mix together the red onion and vinegar.
  6. For the dressing, mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl or jar.
  7. In a large bowl, add the chopped lettuce, tofu, chickpeas, cucumber, tomatoes, pickled onion and cabbage. Then drizzle over the dressing. And that’s it!
