BBQ Spicy Tofu Sliders

Gear

Ingredients

Serves = 12

  • 450g block firm tofu
  • 12 wholemeal dinner rolls
  • 1 large cucumber
  • 240g light cheddar cheese
  • 1 avocado (optional)

Marinade

  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • ½ -1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 2 tsp smoky paprika
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1-2 tbsp Water

Slaw

  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp wholegrain mustard
  • 1 tsp garlic
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 200g slaw salad mix

It’s this easy

  • Remove tofu from its packet and wrap in a clean cloth or paper towel. Place under some heavy books or cans, and leave for 10-20 mins. (This will remove a lot of the excess moisture from the tofu and allow the marinade to soak into the tofu)

  • In a large bowl, mix together the marinade ingredients

  • Slice tofu into matchbox size pieces

  • Gently mix tofu into the marinade. Allow to marinate for 10 mins

  • Lay the tofu on a tray, drizzle with a small amount of olive oil. Heat the BBQ to medium heat. Cook the tofu until brown on each side

  • In a separate bowl, make the slaw by mixing together the Greek yogurt, wholegrain mustard, garlic and lemon juice. Then add the slaw mix, and combine

  • Whilst tofu is cooking, slice bread rolls in half and lightly toast

  • Layer tofu with slaw and a slice of cheese on a bread roll (and avocado if including this)

Tweaks

  • You could use larger bread rolls to make these a larger tofu style burger, or two slices of bread.
  • Tofu could be cooked under the grill in an frying pan, oven or on a sandwich press.

What is healthy eating?

Eating healthy is making sure you enjoy a wide variety of foods from each of the five major food groups daily, in the amounts recommended. The five major food groups as recommended by the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating are:

  1. vegetables and legumes/bean
  2. fruit
  3. lean meats and poultry, fish, eggs, tofu, nuts and seeds, legumes/beans
  4. grain (cereal) foods, mostly wholegrain and/or high cereal fibre varieties
  5. milk, yoghurt, cheese and/or alternatives, mostly reduced fat.

Foods are grouped together because they provide similar amounts of key nutrients and eating a variety of foods from the list above helps to promote good health and reduce the risk of disease.

How do I improve my diet?

If you want to improve your diet you have come to the right place. By completing the Healthy Eating Quiz you’ll receive instant personalised feedback and a report on your diet quality to highlight any areas where you can improve your overall eating habits. Your score is based on the frequency and variety of the foods consumed from the five major food groups mentioned above.

Is my diet healthy?

Dietary habits are different between people. Some people choose to follow a particular diet (i.e., Keto diet or vegan diet) while some have to make changes due to certain food restrictions or health conditions. If you want to know if what you usually eat is healthy, then do the Healthy Eating Quiz today to give you the answers in less than 10 minutes.

Why is healthy eating important?

Your HEQ score and personalised feedback report is based on the frequency and variety of healthy core foods you usually eat. This is important because no single food contains all the nutrients we need to stay healthy. Some foods are higher in nutrients than others and people who have a lot of variety in the foods they eat are more likely to be healthy and to stay healthy. In other words, if you can eat a large variety of vegetables as opposed to only 2-3 types of vegetables, the benefits are much greater. This type of diet also helps you to feel better, think better and perform better during your usual daily activities.
