  12      oz            Firm Chinese-style tofu
     1/2  ts            Ground cumin
     1/2  ts            Chili powder
     1/2  ts            Dried oregano
     1/4  c             Olive oil
   1      cl            Garlic -- minced
     1/4  c             White wine vinegar
     1/4  c             Dry white wine
   4      sl            Whole wheat bread --
                        - thick, lightly toasted
                        Chili mayonnaise
                        Tomato -- sliced
                        Arugula -- washed
   1      sl            Red onion (optional)
                        Salt
                        Black pepper -- freshly ground

Cut tofu into 1" 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 30 minutes 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" away from the heat until crispy on each side.

Spread bread with mayonnaise; slice tofu in half to make 1/2" 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.
