Ingredients
Pesto:
- 1/2 cup grated Asiago cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 tablespoon (about 5 leaves), chopped fresh sage
- 1 garlic clove, roughly chopped
- 5 tablespoons grapeseed oil
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Tofu:
- 14 ounces firm tofu, drained and patted dry with paper towels
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
For the Asiago and Walnut Pesto:
Place all the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until smooth.
Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Cut the tofu in half diagonally to make 2 large triangles. Cut each large triangle in half to make 4 smaller triangles. Place the triangles, long side down, on a cutting board and carefully cut each into 3 slices. Brush the tofu triangles, on each side, with the extra-virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Grill the tofu for 2 minutes on each side.
Carefully transfer the tofu to a serving platter. Spoon the pesto over the tofu and serve.

Are the last cuts crosswise? How thick should the tofu slices be?

I followed the recipe to the tee except for substituting olive oil for the grapeseed oil. It had a wonderful flavor - mostly due I think to the asagio cheese. My husband (not a tofu fan said it was the only tofu he's eaten that he loved. Will keep this recipe!

I didn't have all of the ingredients so I substituted almonds for walnuts and provelone cheese for Asagio. Came out great. Tofu is pretty tasteless so anything on top of it is an improvement.
