Ingredients

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, garlic, oregano, fresh rosemary, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and lemon zest until well combined.
Gently fold in the chopped parsley.
Add the tofu cubes to a large resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the tofu, ensuring all sides are coated.
Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (ideally 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor), occasionally turning the tofu to marinate evenly.
Remove tofu from marinade (reserve excess marinade if desired).
Cook tofu as desired: grill, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or pan-sear until golden and crisp.
Garnish with extra parsley before serving. Serve with your favorite Greek accompaniments.
