Tofu And Apple Pita Recipes

SHAWARMA-SPICED TOFU PITA WRAPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss onion and vinegar in a small bowl to coat; set aside.
• Squeeze tofu over a medium bowl, gently at first, then more firmly to expel as much water as possible (like squeezing out a big sponge). Don't worry if it starts to crack apart. When no more liquid comes out, tear tofu into 1" pieces. Arrange in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Toss with oil, then add coriander, paprika, red pepper flakes, cinnamon, and 1 tsp. salt. Toss well to coat. Roast tofu, turning once or twice, until crispy around the edges and well browned, 20-25 minutes (the tofu will get crispier as it cools, so don't be tempted to take it too far and dry it out in the oven).
• Stir yogurt and garlic in a small bowl; season with salt. Assemble by dividing yogurt among pitas, followed by tofu, cucumbers, drained pickled onion, and a handful of mint.

GRILLED TOFU AND VEGETABLE PITA POCKETS

Steps:

• Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Whisk dressing and mint in small bowl to blend. Arrange tofu, bell peppers and green onions on small platter; brush with some of dressing mixture.
• Wrap pita bread in foil; place at edge of grill to warm through. Grill vegetables and tofu until lightly charred and heated through, occasionally turning and brushing with some dressing mixture, about 8 minutes for vegetables and 5 minutes for tofu.
• Cut tofu and peppers into 1/4-inch pieces. Fill each pita half with 1/4 of tofu and peppers. Top each with 2 green onions and 1/4 of feta cheese. Drizzle with any remaining dressing mixture and serve.
