TOFU WITH HOT CHIPOTLE BARBECUE SAUCE
Instead of throwing out the adobo sauce that canned chipotle peppers are packed in, use it for this sauce. You can marinate the tofu in it for an extra-hot dish, or just brush it on cooked or uncooked tofu. This makes enough for a pound of tofu.

FOLAMI'S BBQ TOFU
Kwanzaa gatherings continue to go strong in community centers and at home in dining rooms, as they have since 1966. The seven-day holiday of self-reflection, often an extension of Christmas or the winter solstice, culminates with the karamu, or feast. The spread leans heavily vegetarian. In Atlanta, Folami Prescott-Adams dries, seasons, fries and broils pounds of tofu. Store-bought, tomato-based barbecue sauce provides the comfort factor. She is a 40-year veteran of Kwanzaa and maintains a spreadsheet of potluck logistics for her family and guests. Alongside this vegetarian barbecue, Dr. Prescott-Adams's buffet feeds more than 100 people, and the greatest hits include macaroni and cheese, red punch and black-eyed peas.

Steps:
- Two and a half hours before serving, start drying out the tofu: Place the slices in a single layer between clean, dry dish towels or double layers of paper towels. Press to remove water from the tofu, and let stand for 2 hours, replacing the soaked towels once or twice, until there is very little water left in the tofu. (You can press and dry the tofu quickly, and use it immediately, but it will be less crisp.)
- Heat a broiler to its highest setting. Heat a large skillet over medium and add the oil and butter, swirling to cover the bottom. Pour the tamari into a small, shallow dish. Press the tofu one last time. Quickly dip both sides of a single slice in the tamari and place it in the skillet. (Be careful as the liquid may lead to hot pops from the oil.) Repeat with the remaining tofu slices and tamari.
- Cook until the tofu gets the same beautiful golden brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. While the tofu browns, spread half of the barbecue sauce on a small rimmed baking sheet. Transfer the tofu to the barbecue sauce on the sheet, then cover with the remaining sauce. Broil, turning once, until the sauce thickens and bubbles, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve hot.
Tips:
- Use extra firm tofu. This type of tofu holds its shape better and absorbs the marinade more easily.
- Press the tofu before cooking. This helps to remove excess water and makes the tofu more firm.
- Marinate the tofu for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the tofu.
- Cook the tofu over medium heat. This helps to prevent the tofu from burning.
- Serve the tofu with your favorite sides. Some popular options include rice, quinoa, vegetables, and salad.
Conclusion:
This tofu with hot chipotle barbecue sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The tofu is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is smoky, spicy, and sweet. Serve this dish with your favorite sides for a complete meal that everyone will enjoy.
