Don't know the name, but your "plight" got me thinking (been cooking 
a lot lately...spring fever?...mebbe just damned hungry...need brain 
food...).  First, I thought of tempeh rather than tofu (did you 
press/dry the tofu? that often makes a difference in some recipes), 
but i dunno how that would work in the recipe either as tempeh often 
has a flavor of it's own.  Used to BBQ it, but that's another story. 
Then I thought, this would be perfect as a fish marinade, but you may 
not be eating fish either (to all: please, no lessons in what's 
"vegetarian" or not...I know far, far too many vegetarians who are 
strict as hell, but "do" seafood...go figure).  Lastly (he thinks), 
why not cut back on the lemon juice (at least by half), add in some 
olive oil, and simply marinate some veggies that you do like...grill 
'em up and see what it's like.   Okay, that changes the nature of the 
recipe completely, except it still being a marinade, but hey that's 
how new recipes are born...

Anywho...
