This vibrant grilled tofu with coriander pesto is a refreshing take on plant-based protein, offering a bright and zesty flavour profile that perfectly complements the golden, grilled tofu slices. By using firm tofu and grilling it until crisp, you achieve a satisfying texture that holds up beautifully against the punchy, aromatic pesto. The combination of fresh lime, sesame oil, and toasted pine nuts creates a sophisticated sauce that is both light and deeply savoury.

As a diabetes-friendly dish, this recipe is naturally low in carbohydrates and high in lean protein, making it an excellent choice for a nutritious midweek meal. Serve it alongside a crisp green salad or steamed seasonal vegetables for a well-balanced lunch or dinner. It is a simple yet elegant way to incorporate more tofu into your diet while enjoying the bold, fresh notes of a homemade Asian-inspired herb sauce.

How to make Grilled Tofu with Coriander Pesto

Preheat grill and lightly oil a shallow flameproof baking pan with olive oil.

Cut each block of tofu crosswise into 6 slices and pat dry between several layers of paper towels. Arrange in 1 layer in baking pan and brush tops of slices with more olive oil. Grill 4 to 6 inches from heat, without turning, until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

While tofu is grilling, purée coriander, pine nuts, lime juice, fish sauce, sesame oil, sugar, remaining 60ml olive oil, salt, and pepper in a food processor until bright green and smooth, about 1 minute.

Transfer tofu with a slotted spatula to a platter and serve with coriander pesto.
