Tofu cubes are pan-fried until golden and crispy, then simmered in a glossy apricot-jerk glaze made with pineapple juice, chili sauce, and warm jerk seasoning. The tofu gets spooned into crisp lettuce cups with cilantro lime crema and a bright pineapple pico de gallo, offering a balance of smoky heat and tropical sweetness. Steamed rice with crispy fried onions rounds out the meal.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Cook Rice
1
  • In a small pot, combine rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook, covered, until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.

  • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

Prep
2
  • While rice cooks, wash and dry produce.

  • Halve, peel, and mince shallot. Roughly chop cilantro. Zest and halve lime. Trim and discard root end from lettuce; reserve 6 whole leaves for serving (12 leaves for 4 servings). (Save remaining lettuce for another use.)

Make Pineapple Pico
3
  • Drain pineapple, reserving juice in a small bowl. Roughly chop pineapple.

  • In a separate small bowl, combine chopped pineapple, shallot, half the cilantro, juice from half the lime, a large drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Make Glaze
4
  • To bowl with pineapple juice, add jam, chili sauce, ¼ cup water (½ cup for 4 servings), and jerk seasoning. Season with salt and pepper.

Cook Tofu
5
  • Open and drain tofu; press out excess water with paper towels. Halve crosswise, then stand tofu upright and halve vertically. Lay flat and cut into ½-inch cubes. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add tofu and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, 3-4 minutes.

  • Reduce heat to medium low; stir in glaze and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Cook, stirring occasionally, until glaze is thickened and tofu is well coated, 2-4 minutes more.

Make Crema
6
  • While tofu cooks, in a third small bowl, combine sour cream, lime zest, juice from remaining lime, remaining cilantro, salt, and pepper.

Finish & Serve
7
  • Fluff rice with a fork; stir in crispy fried onions.

  • Divide reserved lettuce leaves between plates. Fill with rice, tofu, and pineapple pico. Drizzle with lime crema and serve.
