Tofu Marinated In Asian Citrus Pesto Sauce

• 16 oz of unflavored extra firm tofu, cut into 1" cubes
• For the marinade:
• 1 bunch cilantro leaves
• 3" piece of ginger root, peeled and coarsely chopped
• 2 small serrano chillies, stems and seeds removed and cut lengthwise
• 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/2 to 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
• Salt and pepper to taste

1. Using a Cuisinart or a blender, combine all the marinade ingredients together in the bowl and pulse until you get a paste that is midway between coarse and fine, so that you can still feel the crunchy texture of the walnuts.
2. Place the cubes of tofu in a small, flat baking dish lightly greased with olive oil or PAM and pour the marinade over the tofu until well coated.
3. Marinate for an hour, then bake in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 25 mins.
4. Serve immediately with nutty wild rice and green beans lightly sauteed in olive oil and garlic.
5. Enjoy!
