Cumin Tofu w/ Papaya Salsa

Ingredients

• Slice the tofu into 8-10 slices and press each one lightly between paper towels (or tea towels) to remove some of the moisture. Mix the remaining tofu ingredients in a small bowl. Put the tofu into a large zip-lock bag, add the marinade, and turn to coat. Turn the bag every now and then, letting it marinate for at least 1 hour while you make the salsa and prepare the grill. (You can marinate it in a long baking dish, of course, but the zip-lock bag is easier.)
• Papaya Salsa:
• Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Heat a non-stick skillet, lay the tofu in a single layer, and cook, turning once, until brown on both sides. Just before removing from heat, add the marinade and cook until it's absorbed by the tofu.)
• Serve tofu topped with papaya salsa.
