Gene's Vegetarian Spiedie

3 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar

2 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 teaspoons maple syrup

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

pinch black pepper

pinch salt

1 dried chipotle pepper, finely minced (remove seeds for less heat)

2 small ripe peaches, finely chopped

1 pound tofu, firm

 

 

 

Combine balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and maple syrup in a mixing

bowl. Add garlic, thyme, black pepper, chipotle pepper, salt and

peaches. Mix thoroughly and pour over 1 lb. of firm tofu and allow to

marinate for 24 hours. Grill on skewers, and serve in a sub roll.

 

You may also want to try marinating crimini mushrooms with the tofu.

Spiedies are a Binghamton (NY) area phenomenon. Originally developed

by a local Italian immigrant family, spiedies usually consist of

chunks of meat marinated in what is essentially Italian dressing,

grilled, and served on bread or a sub roll. The spiedie is such a

Binghamton institution that they even have a spiedie competition

every year as part of the Balloon Festival. In 1996 they opened a

vegetarian spiedie category and we were drafted by Gene's brother to

enter. This is Gene's entry.

Well, this doesn'tsound at all like a spiedie (well, a traditional one

anyway), but I'll have to try it!! Thanks, CHupa!
