To serve:

• 4 pita breads

1. Grate the cucumber and place in a sieve. Sprinkle salt over and leave for as long as possible to drain and get as much liquid out of it as you can. 

2. Meanwhile, press the tofu. Wrap the tofu in kitchen roll and place a chopping board on top. Then place a weight on top - i usually fill the kettle and balance it on top, or you can use heavy tins etc. Leave to press for as long as possible.

3. Get a griddle pan or pre-heat the grill

4. Make the marinade for the tofu by mixing the olive oil, soy sauce, tomato paste, mustard and herbs/seasonings

5. Slice the tofu block lengthways to make it thinner. Then cut into 8 pieces. Dip the tofu in the marinade, leave for a while if you can. Then cook, turning regularly, till the tofu is golden/slightly charred.

6. Mix the yoghurt, garlic, salt, white wine vinegar/lemon juice and dill. Add the liquid-free cucumber and mix 

7. Toast the pita, add the tofu, some oven chips, lettuce, tomatoes and chilli sauce
