Tofu has no flavour of its own, and that is its virtue: it takes on whatever surrounds it. Here what surrounds it is a North African palette — cumin, turmeric, smoked paprika, cinnamon, saffron — closed with lemon and olives, as in a tagine. But enough talking — let's go straight to loading the ingredients into Liffo!
