Grilled Tofu

Barbecuing is a wonderful thing to do at picnics or outdoor events. But by the name BBQ the picture that comes to mind are chicken thighs, lamb/beef pattices, and endless list of non-vegetarian grills.  I have observed that  its hard for vegetarians to stand the smell of such BBQ’s and make their own presence miserable.

Presenting Tofu Grill for all  my Vegetarian friends;  spicy and healthy yet can be had with all the fun you have at a BBQ party. This can also be made with Paneer/cottage cheese.

Ingredients:

For Marination:

• Extra firm Tofu
• Chilli Garlic Sauce
• Soya Sauce
• Salt
• Olive oil

For grilling:

• Green bell pepper
• Tomatoes
• Onions
• Bamboo skewers

Method:

1. Cut the tofu into  1 inch cubes.
2. Marinate the tofu pieces with the chilli garlic, soya sauce, salt and olive oil.
3. Refrigerate  it  for half an hour.
4. Soak the bamboo skewers in warm water for 30 mins to avoid burning.
5. Cut the bell peppers, onions and tomatoes into approx 1×1 inch pieces.
6. Skewer the tofu and veggies in a pattern , keeping minimum space in between.
7. Place the skewers on the grill and cook till they change color.
8. This can also be grilled in an oven or in the broiler. Pre-heat the oven at 475 F and cook till the tofu changes color.
