Instructions
- Cut each block of tofu into 4 slabs, season with salt and pepper, and set aside.

- Place the mixture in the blender and blend until smooth.
- Return to the saucepan and cook an additional 15 minutes.
- Let cool and pour over the tofu. Let the mixture marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
