INSTRUCTIONS
SERVINGS VEGAN The tofu and vegetables absorb the tangy marinade, making the kebabs extra-succulent and moist. Serve this dish with the Herbed Potato and Tomato Salad and crusty bread. (Recipe adapted from Quick Vegetarian Pleasures by Jeanne Lemlin (HarperCollins. 1992).) Marinade: Combine all ingredients in jar with a screw-on top and shake vigorously. Set aside. In medium bowl, combine tofu and one third of marinade, toss gently to coat. Cover and refrigerate up to S hours, stirring occasionally. In large bowl, combine tomatoes, pepper, onion and mushrooms. Pour over remaining marinade, toss well and refrigerate for up to 8 hours, stirring occasionally. Soak wooden skewers in enough water to cover at least 30 minutes before grilling. Alternately thread tofu and vegetables onto skewers. Grill over hot coals or broil on baking sheet, 6 inches from heat source, about 15 minutes, turning skewers every 5 minutes. Brush with leftover marinade a few times while cooking and again just before serving. PER SERVING: 170 CAL.; 12G PROT.;10G TOTAL FAT (0 SAT. FAT) 10G CARB.; 0 CHOL.; 771MG SOD.; 2G FIBER.
