Mixed reviews on this one. The thumbs down is for the tofu. Grilling it is a pain in the behind and I didn't think the sauce had much flavor- I even doubled the recipe for the same amount of tofu.
If you decide to grill the tofu, I advise against cutting it in a diagonal, or try cutting thinner slices. It just didn't grill thoroughly and took far longer than 4 minutes per side. I thought I had sufficiently pressed the water out of it, but it broke apart and was just generally unpleasant. DH spit out the bite he tried. Texture issues all the way.
The pita bread wouldn't open properly, so I just abandoned the whole sandwich idea.
The watercress salad filling was quite good, on the other hand. I added sliced almonds and golden raisins and it was lovely over couscous made with coconut milk and the broken up grilled tofu.
The saving grace for DH was the Asparagus, White Bean, Feta salad from May '01. THere have been many reviews of this, I believe. It was delicious.
A Dry Riesling was excellent with both the Peanut Sauce on the watercress salad, and the creamy asparagus/bean salad.
