Recipe for jerk tofu in our easy vegetarian recipes collection.

Recipe ingredients

  • Tofu:
    • 32 ounces extra firm tofu, pressed to remove as much water as possible
  • Sauce:
    • 1 teaspoon ginger juice, fresh, squeezed from fresh, grated ginger root
    • 2 cups mango juice, or mango nectar or apricot nectar
    • 1/8 cup dried chiles, cut in 1/4 inch squares
    • 1 teaspoon sea salt
    • 6 garlic cloves, minced
    • 2 tablespoons whole sugar, Rapadura, or Sucanat sugar
    • 2 tablespoons macadamia nut oil
    • 2 tablespoons key lime juice
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons thyme
    • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground mace
    • 1/2 small onion, diced

How to make jerk tofu

  • Slice the pressed tofu into cross-wise strips to create 3 inch by 1/2 inch strips.
  • Place sliced tofu in the bottom of a 9 x 9 inch baking pan.
  • Combine all sauce ingredients in a sauce pan, and heat.
  • Once this comes to a simmer, pour it over tofu in the baking dish.
  • Bake dish in a 450 degrees F oven, no need to preheat oven, until the sauce thickens and most of the liquid is absorbed into the tofu, about 45 minutes.
  • About half way through baking, flip the tofu in the pan so all sides of the tofu absorb the sauce evenly, and so both the top and the bottom have a chance to get a little brown.
  • Remove from oven, and gently mix the tofu so the sauce covers more evenly.
  • Variation: Jerk tempeh. Replace the tofu with tempeh.
