| 4people | 5minutes | 10minutes |
Ingredients
- 250 g Organic Tofu (medium or firm)
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 1 tsp Paprika Powder
- 1/2 tsp Tumeric
- 1 tsp Sea Salt (Celtic or Himalayan) ground
- 1/2 cup Nutritional Yeast
- 1/4 cup Boiling Water from boiled kettle
- 1 tbs Grapeseed Oil for frying
Instructions
- Place tofu into freezer overnight.
- Remove tofu from freezer and let thaw in fridge.
- Press liquid from tofu by placing it between two chopping boards and putting something heavy on top to weigh it down. (Make sure you put a tea towel underneath to catch the run-off)
- Pat the tofu dry and slice into 1/4 inch (1/2cm) slices.
- Prepare your marinade by combining remaining ingredients (except oil) in a bowl until well combined and smooth.
- Baste tofu slices on both sides and if you have time, let marinade for at least a couple of hours or over night. (I usually can’t wait and cook them straight away) 🙂
- Heat non-stick pan on high/medium-high (or BBQ) and add a little bit of oil. Add halloumi slices and cook on each side until golden and crispy (about 2 minutes on each side).
- Cook until all halloumi slices are done… serve and enjoy! AWESOME – Halloumi without the Dairy!!!!!! YUM! Enjoy 🙂
