Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 Servings

Ingredients

4 medium-large red-skinned potatoes, scrubbed and microwaved until done but still firm
1 pound firm or extra-firm tofu, well drained and cut into 3/4-inch chunks
1/2 cup (or as needed) natural barbecue sauce

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the broiler.

    Step 2

    When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into 1-inch chunks. Starting with potato, alternate the potato and tofu chunks on metal skewers. There should be enough for 8 average-length skewers. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet and brush the kebabs generously with barbecue sauce.

    Step 3

    Broil for 5 minutes, and turn the skewers over carefully, wearing a long oven mitt. Broil for another 5 minutes. If desired, turn once again and broil for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from the oven, and serve.
