Carina's Tofu Vegetable Kebabs


This dish is best prepared a day in advance to allow the ingredients to soak in the marinade overnight.

Steps


Drain the tofu , carefully squeezing out excess water , and pat dry with paper towels.
Cut tofu into one-inch squares.
Set aside.
Cut eggplant lengthwise in half , then cut each half into approximately three strips.
Cut strips crosswise into one-inch cubes.
Slice zucchini into half-inch thick slices.
Cut red pepper in half , removing stem and seeds , and cut each half into one-inch squares.
Wipe mushrooms clean with a moist paper towel and remove stems.
Thread tofu and vegetables on to barbecue skewers in alternating color combinations: for example , first a piece of eggplant , then a slice of tofu , then zucchini , then red pepper , baby corn and mushrooms.
Continue in this way until all skewers are full.
Make the marinade by putting all ingredients in a blender , and blend on high speed for about one minute until mixed.
Alternatively , put all ingredients in a glass jar , cover tightly with the lid and shake well until mixed.
Lay the kebabs in a long , shallow baking pa.
