Ingredients
  

  • 14 oz extra firm or super firm tofu
  • 1/2 orange sliced
  • 1/2 blood orange sliced
  • 2 springs rosemary
  • 4 springs thyme
  • Coarse salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Avocado oil
For the tofu marinade-
  • 1 tablespoon white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 orange squeezed for juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cup warm water

Method
 

  1. Cup the tofu into 2 pieces and carve into fillet shapes if you like, score the top of the tofu with horizontal or criss cross lines, cut only about 1/2 of the height of the tofu, do not cut through;
  2. In an airtight container, mix together all the marinade ingredients, transfer the tofu into the marinade and let them absorb the flavors for at least 4 hours, or in the fridge overnight;
  3. When you're ready to cook, preheat the oven to 400°F;
  4. Take one parchment paper, fold it like an accordion, then tie off both ends with baking twine, carefully open up the parcel from the middle and shape it like a little boat, repeat and make another one;
  5. Add 3-4 orange slices at the bottom of the boats, alternate between regular and blood oranges, add one spring of rosemary and two thyme, transfer one tofu fillet on top, add a drizzle of avocado oil, a pinch of coarse salt and black paper;
  6. Transfer the boats onto a baking sheet, bake for 25 minutes, serve hot, enjoy!
