#83 The Case of Curried Tofu Kebabs

Curried Tofu Kebabs 2 tablespoons ginger root, minced 4 cloves garlic, minced 4 tablespoons lime juice 4 tablespoons soya sauce 4 teaspoons turmeric 2 teaspoons curry powder 1/4 teaspoon chilli pepper flakes 1-1/2 lb extra firm tofu (cut in squares) 2 red, yellow or orange peppers, cubed 4 zucchinis, thickly sliced 1/8 cup olive oil Soak at least 8 wooden skewers in water. In a large, lidded pot that can't be stained, mix together the ginger, garlic, lime juice, soya sauce, turmeric, curry powder and chilli pepper flakes. Gently stir/shake in the tofu and vegetables and marinate for an hour or more. Because the marinade will stain your fingers, wear rubber gloves to thread the tofu and vegetables onto the skewers. Baste with the olive oil, and grill on the BBQ or broil on the middle rack of oven. Serves 4. ♥ Becki
