Wheat free Crunchy chilli tofu

serves 1

250 g organic firm tofu
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
polenta grains
1 tsp hot chilli powder
1 tsp crushed chillies
black pepper, freshly ground
1 tbsp olive oil

1. Drain the tofu on kitchen towel and pat dry. Slice the tofu into approximately 1 cm thick slices.
2. Pour the balsamic vinegar onto a plate and place the tofu in it, marinate for about 15 minutes then turn the tofu over and leave for another 15 minutes.
3. Mix the polenta grains, chilli powder, crushed chillies and pepper together. Coat each piece of tofu in the mixture.
4. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and add the polenta coated tofu pieces. Cook until golden brown and crunchy on the underside. Then turn the tofu over and cook until crunchy and browned. This takes about 5 minutes each side.
5. Serve immediately.
This is absolutely wonderful with baked beans and chips.While the rest of the family are tucking into breaded fish, why not have this, it's delicious with tartare sauce.
