Grilled Pineapple and Tofu Skewers

Ingredients

• 14 oz firm tofu
• 1 fresh pineapple
• 1 cup soy sauce
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes
• 8 vegetable skewers
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp cilantro
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Press the tofu for 20-30 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.

2. 2

   In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

3. 3

   Add the cubed tofu to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

4. 4

   While the tofu is marinating, cut the fresh pineapple into 1-inch chunks.

5. 5

   Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F).

6. 6

   Once marinated, thread the tofu and pineapple chunks alternately onto the vegetable skewers.

7. 7

   Brush the skewers lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.

8. 8

   Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the tofu is golden and the pineapple is caramelized.

9. 9

   Remove the skewers from the grill and let them cool for a minute. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
