Ingredients
1 package (14 ounces) extra firm tofu, drained
1 large orange, zested (about 1 tablespoon), orange reserved
3 tbs white wine vinegar, divided
2 tbs grapeseed oil, divided
1 tbs honey, divided
4 (9-to-10-inch) wooden skewers
1 tbs Dijon mustard
1 medium fennel bulb, ¼ fennel fronds reserved, bulb
1 avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced
1/4 cup chopped roasted unsalted cashews
Directions

1. Wrap tofu with paper towels and place on a plate; top with a second plate and weigh down with a heavy object. Let tofu stand 15 minutes; cut into 1-inch pieces.

 

2. Slice off ends of orange; place cut side down on cutting board. Slice down sides of orange to remove skin and white pith with a paring knife. Hold orange over large bowl; gently cut along sides of membranes to release each segment. Reserve orange segments; squeeze juice from orange membrane into same large bowl. Whisk in 1 tablespoon each vinegar and oil, 1½ teaspoons honey, ¼ teaspoon salt and orange zest. Add tofu and toss gently; let stand 30 minutes. Soak skewers in water 20 minutes.

 

3. Prepare outdoor grill for direct grilling over medium-high heat. Remove tofu from marinade with slotted spoon; whisk in mustard, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, and remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar, 1 tablespoon oil and 1½ teaspoons honey. Add fennel, fennel fronds and orange segments; toss. Makes about 3 cups.

 

4. Thread tofu onto skewers. Place skewers on hot grill rack; cover and cook 10 minutes or until grill marks appear and tofu is crisp, turning ¼ turn every 2½ minutes.

 

5. Serve fennel mixture topped with avocado, cashews and tofu skewers.

 

Chef Tip: Tofu skewers can also be grilled on the stovetop on a nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat.
