Mediterranean Roasted Tofu Sandwiches

1 package extra firm tofu
1 head garlic
5 tablespoons lemon juice
2 1/2 tablespoons oregano
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 green or red pepper, sliced into long strips
1 onion, sliced into long strips

1. Cut tofu lengthwise into ½ inch patties. Cut each patty in half widthwise. Dry with paper towels and place in a shallow tray.
2. Mix the olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, oregano, ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper in a cup. Coat the tofu patties with the sauce, and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 8 hours.
3. Place the tofu patties, head of garlic (wrapped in aluminum foil), pepper, and onion in a baking pan, and bake at 400 degrees.
4. After 10 minutes, flip the tofu patties and stir the vegetables.
5. After another 5-10 minutes, or when the tofu patties and vegetables begin to brown, turn off the oven and remove the garlic.
6. Squeeze or remove the roasted garlic cloves into a cup, and mix well with 3 tablespoons lemon juice, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
7. Remove the tofu and vegetables from the oven. Serve as sandwiches on pita or flatbread, with the vegetables and lemon garlic sauce covering the tofu patties.
