Recipe Description

Drawing inspiration from the traditional Armenian barbecue, or khorovats, this vegan recipe reimagines the classic dish using tofu as the main ingredient. The process begins with pressing and marinating extra-firm tofu in a blend of Armenian spices, garlic, lemon, and pomegranate molasses, infusing it with a rich, tangy, and slightly sweet flavor profile characteristic of the region’s cuisine. After marinating, the tofu is grilled to perfection, achieving a crispy exterior and a tender, flavorful interior. This recipe not only pays homage to the culinary traditions of Armenia but also provides a delightful plant-based alternative to the meat-centric feast. The tofu khorovats can be served with a side of grilled vegetables and lavash for a complete meal.
