Veggie-tofu Skewers

Ingredients:

3 packages of firm tofu
3 red peppers

3 green peppers
2 onions
Bamboo skewers (about 20) pre-soaked in water.

Marinade:

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup lemon juice or vinegar

1 Tablespoon of preferred seasoning (Italian, Cajun or Greek)

Instructions:

  1. Cut tofu into 2″ cubes.
  2. Wash and cut peppers into 2″ squares.
  3. Peel onion, cut into 2″ wedges and then cut into half again.
  4. Assemble skewers starting with green pepper, tofu, onion and red pepper squares, until skewer is about 6″-8″ long.
  5. Whisk together marinade ingredients and brush skewers generously. Cover and refrigerate for an hour or overnight if possible.
  6. Fire up barbecue on medium heat, and place skewers directly on the grill for a 3-5 minutes on each side rotating them with tongs until all sides are equally grilled and the vegetables are partially cooked.



Note: For meat eaters, these can be made with chicken breast cut up in to squares instead of tofu.They can be made ahead of time and stored in a zip-lock bag in the fridge for about 3 days.
