  2. Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk together the remaining tofu ingredients except the oil. Add the tofu slices and toss together. Cover and set aside in the fridge to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas mark 6. Put the onions in a roasting tin, drizzle with the oil and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until soft. Remove from the oven and transfer to a bowl, then add the lentils, sultanas and fresh coriander, and toss to combine.
