Yield: 4 serving(s)
Ingredients: 3/4 cup (180 ml) sour cream; 1/4 cup (60 ml) mayonnaise; 1/4 cup (10 g) mixed herbs, finely chopped (such as parsley, dill, chives); 1 tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice; 2 tsp onion or garlic powder; 1 1/2 lb (675 g) small multicoloured Nantes carrots, halved lengthwise if large; 3 tbsp (45 ml) olive oil; 1 tsp onion or garlic powder; 1 tsp chili powder; 1 lb (450 g) firm or medium-firm tofu, cut into 4 steaks and patted dry; 2 celery stalks, thinly sliced; 1/2 cup (15 g) mixed herbs, coarsely chopped (such as parsley, dill, chives); Hot sauce (Frank’s RedHot-style), to taste; 3 oz (85 g) blue cheese, crumbled (such as Le Ciel de Charlevoix or Saint-Benoît du Lac Smoked Blue Cheese)

Preparation

Ranch Sauce
- In a bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients. Season with salt. Set aside.
Tofu and Carrots
- Place a 10-inch (25 cm) wide, 2-inch (5 cm) deep cast iron pan directly on one side of the barbecue grill. Preheat the grill, setting the burners to medium-high. Oil the other side of the grate and the cast iron pan.
- On a plate, toss the carrots with 1 tbsp (15 ml) of the oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, combine the spices. On a plate, brush the tofu with oil and sprinkle with the spice mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook the carrots directly on the grill for 10 minutes or until cooked through and nicely caramelized, turning them over a few times. Add 1 tbsp (15 ml) of the oil to the cast iron pan (watch out for splattering). Add the tofu to the pan and cook while the carrots are cooking, turning over with a spatula halfway through. Let cool on a large plate.
- On a work surface, cut the carrots into pieces on an angle and place in a bowl. Add the remaining oil to the bowl along with the celery and herbs. Mix well. Adjust the seasoning. Drizzle the hot sauce over the tofu, to taste.
- Spread the ranch sauce along the bottom of four plates. Top with the tofu steaks and grilled carrot salad. Sprinkle with the blue cheese.
