Ingredients
- 1 lemon
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablepoon cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablepoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 10 1/2 oz. package of firm beancurd (tofu)
- 12 oz. white button mushrooms
- salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
1.Wash outside of lemon thoroughly with warm water and soap*. Pat dry then grate peel and set aside. Slice lemon in half and squeeze out juice into a medium sized bowl.
2.Add the garlic, oil, vinegar and chopped herbs with the lemon juice and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste.
3.Clean mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove any excess soil. Slice mushrooms in half and set aside.
4.Using a sharp knife, slice the tofu into medium sized chunks. Thread tofu alternated with sliced mushrooms onto metal or wood skewers. Place brochettes into a shallow pan and pour the lemon-herb marinade over the skewers, coating evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
5.Prepare grill. Remove brochettes and set aside marinade for basting. Cook brochettes over a hot grill, brushing often with the reserved marinade for about 6 minutes or until cooked through.
6.Serve with an extra sprinkling of chopped fresh herbs and lemon wedges.
