Spice Crusted Tofu

Directions

Toast pine nuts (see Tip); set aside to cool.

Mix paprika, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper in a small bowl.

Drain tofu and pat dry with paper towels.

Cut crosswise into 8 slices, ½ inch thick.

Dredge the tofu liberally with the spice mixture, coating all sides.

Mix boiling water, lemon juice and honey in a small bowl.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; swirl to coat the bottom.

Add tofu and cook on one side until brown and crusty, 4 to 5 minutes; flip and cook for another 3 minutes.

Add the honey mixture to the pan (it will bubble up and evaporate very quickly) and shake to coat the tofu.

Serve immediately, sprinkled with the toasted pine nuts.
