Tofu Vegetable Shish Kabobs

--

 

Cut a 1 Lb. block of firm tofu into 1 1/2 " cubes. Keep them chunky. You want

the kabob sticks to have plenty of tofu to hold onto. Set aside and cut up

vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Italian salad dressing can be used as a

marinade for the kabobs, Let the tofu and veggies marinade for an hour

before cooking them and brush on additional marinade as they cook.

 

Here are some suggestions for your vegetables. If you like, you can steam

the vegetables just a little before putting them on the skewers to shorten

grilling time and ensure that they get cooked through and through.

 

Mushrooms

Green Pepper

Onion

Small Potatoes (buy canned for a quicker preparation)

Squash or Zucchini

Eggplant

Pineapple (yummy)

Cherry tomatoes

 

You'll need some skewers, available at any large grocery. Soak them in water

for about 10 minutes to help them resist the heat. Arrange all of the

vegetables and tofu on the skewers. Line your grill with aluminum foil for a

quick clean up later. Prepare your barbecue charcoal and give the coals time

to generate even heat, about a half hour. Before you place the kabobs on the

grill you may want to coat them with a cooking oil spray. A squirt bottle

filled with oil works good. Another option is to occasionally brush the

vegetables with oil. You'll need to watch the tofu to make sure it doesn't

stick to the grill. Cook till golden brown and serve!
