Marinated Italian Tofu

This is fromVeganomicon by Moskowitz and Romero.  My kids loved it as is; I thought it was a bit dry on its own but terrific when I merged it with my salad.  Serves 4.

Press:

• 1 pound extra firm tofu

Meanwhile, make the marinade:

• 1/2 c white cooking wine
• 2 T olive oil
• 2 T balsamic vinegar
• 2 T soy sauce
• 2 T fresh lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic, smashed
• a big pinch each of dried basil, marjoram, and thyme

Cut the tofu into 8 slices and marinate 1 hour.  Preheat oven to 400.  Place the tofu on a baking sheet and bake 20 min, flip, then bake another 10 min.  Run the broiler for the last two minutes to increase chewiness.
