Serves: 4   Prep time: 20 minutes   Cook time: 10 minutes

TOFU:

3 tablespoons low-sodium, gluten-free tamari

2 tablespoons sesame oil

16 ounces organic firm tofu, cut into 8 slices

2 zucchini, sliced on the bias into ¼-inch pieces

PESTO:

1 bunch (3 ounces) fresh basil, stems removed

1 bunch (2 cups) fresh cilantro, stems removed

2 cloves garlic, chopped

½-inch piece gingerroot, peeled and chopped

3 scallions, trimmed and roughly chopped

¼ cup pine nuts or raw walnuts

½ cup extra virgin olive oil (reserve 1 tablespoon for serving)

4 ounces arugula or other favorite greens

salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

PREPARE THE TOFU:

Prepare the grill, or use a grill pan. In a large bowl, combine the tamari and sesame oil; add the tofu and zucchini slices and marinate for 10 minutes. Grill the zucchini first, about 2 minutes on each side, then the tofu for about 3 minutes on each side. Set aside.

PREPARE THE PESTO:

Place all the ingredients except the arugula or other greens, the salt and pepper, and the reserved 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a food processor and pulse until smooth. If necessary, add 2 tablespoons of water for a thinner consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
