just a bit of a jerk

Hiya! I marinated tofu slices in the Jerk Tofu mixture, but forgot to add the hot stuff! No jalepenos at the store, I was going to use chille paste I already had, but forgot. Forgot the cayenne too! WTF? Grilled the tofu:

And sauteed collards with garlic:


Not pictured: I roasted butternut squash and carrots with cinnamon. Served it up:



It was delicious even though it wasn't truly jerk.

Jerk tofu sandwiches

I've never made my own jerk anything from scratch, so I thought that this should be interesting.




I wasn't sure if I was supposed to be frying the tofu along with the excess marinade, so I did.


I decided to eat the tofu as a sandwich, with some veganaise. It was really tasty, though not terribly spicy. Still, I enjoyed it a lot.

Next time, maybe instead of jalapeno peppers, I'd use things like scotch bonnet peppers. Also, topping the sandwich with other vegetables, like, tomato, might have been nice.
