Ingredients

2 block firm tofu, drained and crumbled
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 small onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper

Method

1Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, then brush the grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
2Place the crumbled tofu on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until it develops a nicely charred exterior.
3Transfer the grilled tofu to a bowl and set aside, leaving the grill on.
4In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat, then add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and slightly caramelized.
5Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
6Stir in the chopped spinach, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, and cook until the spinach is warmed through.
7Add the grilled tofu back into the skillet, stirring gently to combine with the spinach mixture, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until heated through.
