Jamaican Jerk Tofu Recipe

This recipe comes from my second cookbook "Great gluten-free vegan eats from around the world", and is one of my favorite ways to prepare tofu. If you like spicy main courses, try this recipe. If you prefer a milder, yet still zesty dish, simply replace the scotch bonnet peppers in this recipe with a milder pepper, such as banana or long bell peppers. You'll want to start preparing this a day ahead of the intended serving time so that your tofu has adequate time to marinate.
