Steps:
- Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add corn and lima beans and cook, stirring frequently, until hot, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon each garlic powder and salt. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, slice tofu crosswise into 8 slabs. Pat dry with paper towels and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Combine paprika, thyme, pepper, cayenne and the remaining 1 teaspoon garlic powder in a shallow bowl. Dredge both sides of the tofu in the spice mixture. Stir cornstarch into the remaining spice mixture. Dredge the spiced tofu in the cornstarch mixture.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the tofu and cook, turning once, until almost blackened, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and tofu. Serve the tofu with the succotash and lemon wedges, if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Slice the tofu through the center so that you create two separate slabs. Then, cut each of those slabs in half to make 4 steaks. I cut them into triangles, but do as you prefer.
- Place the tofu in a dish with a flat bottom. Then, pour in the soy sauce and let the tofu marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Add the blackened seasoning spice onto a plate or dish with a flat bottom. Press the tofu into the spices and rotate until all sides are covered fairly well.
- Cook in a hot nonstick skillet for 3-5 minutes per side. I love using cast iron for this recipe.

VEGAN BLACKENED GRILLED TOFU
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Slice the pressed tofu block into 4 pieces of about 1-inch thickness each.
- Place soy sauce in a shallow dish and add the tofu. Marinate, covered and refrigerated for at least 30 minutes, turning once or twice to marinate evenly.
- Gather the blackening seasoning ingredients.
- In a small bowl, combine the paprika, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, oregano, and thyme. Mix well.
- Prepare a medium (350 F to 375 F) gas or charcoal grill fire. Oil the grill grates to create a nonstick surface. Remove the tofu from the soy marinade and dip each piece into the blackened seasoning spice mixture, making sure the tofu is generously coated on both sides.
- Grill the tofu until it has blackened on both sides, about 8 to 10 minutes total.

BLACKENED TOFU
Out of frustration at not finding a decent blackened tofu recipe I made one up, using several recipes online as examples. The trick in frying the tofu is to remove the excess moisture from the tofu first. I always add less thyme-it not being my favorite herb...add more if you wish. Oh, this might be a good time to state that this is very spicy! Since I've posted this recipe I have actually reduced the amount of pepper.

Steps:
- Drain the tofu and cut into 1/2" slices. Drain on wire cookie rack with two heavy pans on top for weight. The weight of the pans will help in removing the excess water from the tofu. Drain at least 30 minutes but up to 45 minutes.
- Melt the butter and set aside in shallow dish.
- In coffee mill or food processor, blend all the spices together to a fine powder.
- Place the spice mixture on a piece of wax paper. Stir in the flour with the spices.
- Heat some butter in a cast iron skillet on medium to medium-high heat, but DO NOT burn.
- Dredge the tofu slices one at a time in the melted butter then in the spice mixture.
- Fry tofu slices on one side for five minutes, until blackened but not burnt. Turn over and fry another 5 minutes until blackened.
- Season with salt to taste. Serve lemon wedges on the side for drizzling.
- Makes an ideal appetizer if cut up into strips. Really tasty with Tabasco sauce!
- Red beans and rice would complement this perfectly!

BLACKENED TOFU
These are really spicy so use less pepper if you don't care for a lot of heat. Serve with rice or even as a sandwich filling. The recipe was found in The Giant Book of Tofu Cooking. When you prepare this be sure to press out the excess water.
