Ingredients
Marinade
- 3 tbsp ginger minced
- 4 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tbsp brown sugar unpacked
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1½ tsp coriander
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- ½ tsp mustard powder
Instructions
- Combine marinade ingredients. Finely mince ginger and garlic, combine with remaining ingredients, mix and set aside.
- Drain tofu and pat dry with paper towels, pressing out as much water out as possible.
- Cut tofu into 1½ inch cubes. Add to marinade and toss to coat. Set aside while preparing remaining ingredients.
- If using bamboo skewers, soak in cold water.
- Cut zucchini and peach in 1½ inch cubes. Slice onion into 1 inch pieces and break apart so that you have clusters of 2-3 layers.
- Turn the tofu pieces in the marinade again. Turn broiler to high.
- Assemble the skewers, placing 1-2 pieces of tofu per skewer and evenly distribute the other ingredients.
- Place skewers on a grill pan or foil lined baking sheet.
- Cook under broiler for 8 minutes. Flip skewers and cook the other side for 3-4 minutes to brown slightly on the other side.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle with remaining marinade. Serve immediately.
Notes
Variations and Substitutions
- Feel free to add additional fruits or swap the peaches with another in season fruit. Watermelon, pineapple, nectarines, pears, apples, are all yummy when grilled.
- Add any additional veggies that you want to the skewers. Tomatoes, mushrooms, bell peppers and other squashes would be great choices as well.
- You can add some heat to the marinade by adding a dash of cayenne pepper or some red pepper flakes.
- Don’t overcook the skewers, or they will dry out.
- If you'd prefer, cook these skewers on the outdoor grill!
- Cut the fruits and vegetables so they are uniform in size. This will allow everything to cook properly and at the same rate.
