--------  ------------  --------------------------------
 12      ounces        firm chinese-style tofu
    1/2  teaspoon      ground cumin
    1/2  teaspoon      chili powder
    1/2  teaspoon      dried oregano
    1/4  cup           olive oil
  1      medium clove  minced garlic
    1/4  cup           white wine vinegar
    1/4  cup           dry white wine
  4      thick slices  whole wheat bread -- lightly toasted
                       chili mayonnaise
                       sliced tomato
                       washed arugula
  1      slice         red onion -- optional
                       salt and freshly ground black pepper

Cut tofu into 1-inch thick slices. Drain. Set them on a sheet, cover with
another baking pan or cookie sheet and weight down with something heavy;
drain for at least 1/2 hour to remove excess water.

In a small cast iron skillet toast cumin, chili and oregano until they emit
a lovely aroma. Remove to a nonreactive saucepan and add olive oil, garlic,
vinegar and white wine. Bring to a simmer. Transfer drained and weighted
tofu to a ceramic or glass dish and pour marinade over tofu. Cover with
plastic and refrigerate for a day at least or, for up to 3 to 4 days.

Preheat the broiler. Remove marinated tofu, pat dry and broil, about 6
inches away from the heat until crispy on each side.

Spread bread with mayonnaise; slice tofu in half to make 1/2-inch slices
and set over mayonnaise. Top with tomato, arugula and onion if you wish.
Spread second slice of toasted bread with chili mayo and cover sandwich.

Yield: 2 servings
