Total Time:
1 hour 10 mins
Ingredients
For the BBQ tofu:
- 1 6-ounce can tomato paste
- 1 cup water
- 3 tablespoons Pompeian Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
- 2 tablespoons blackstrap molasses
- 2 tablespoons applesauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Dash of ground cayenne
- 1 14-ounce package extra firm tofu, pressed for 15 minutes*
For the kebabs:
- 1 red onion
- 1 zucchini
- 1 bell pepper
- 1 pineapple
- Skewers
- 3–4 tablespoons Pompeian Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Instructions
- Make your homemade barbecue sauce. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, place tomato paste, water, Pompeian Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, molasses, applesauce, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard, salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne. Whisk to combine. When it begins to bubble, cover (this is important). Turn the heat down to low and let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring once or twice. Add more water if the sauce gets too thick.
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- Cut the tofu into 1-inch pieces. Place in a large bowl. Pour the BBQ sauce over the tofu (you may not need all of it). Stir to evenly coat the tofu; let it sit for 5-10 minutes.
- Arrange the tofu on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, chop the red onion, zucchini, bell pepper and pineapple into 1-inch chunks. Place each ingredient in a separate bowl.
- When the tofu is done, arrange the kebabs. Layer the tofu and vegetables onto the skewers until all ingredients are used up.
- To bake, place the kebabs on the baking sheet; brush or drizzle with Pompeian Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the vegetables are slightly charred. To grill, preheat your grill to 400-450ºF, arrange the skewers on the grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, flipping every 5 minutes, turning the skewers 3-4 times.
- Serve with extra BBQ sauce for dipping.
Notes
*Use a tofu press, or wrap the tofu in paper towels and place in the sink with a heavy object on top.
