Cooking Directions
Heat a pan over high heat with olive oil.
Drain and rinse tofu, and then press dry with paper towels. Slice firm tofu into triangles and coat lightly with Cajun seasoning. Add tofu to pan, and cook 2 minutes per side until golden brown.
Bring 3 cups of chicken or vegetable broth to a boil. Whisk in grits, reduce to heat to low, and simmer for one hour. Whisk every 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in butter, cheese, and cream.
To assemble, divide the grits among 4 serving bowls and top with blackened tofu and sliced green onions. Collards, optional.
