Plant-Based
Spiced tofu and courgettes grilled on skewers. Served with a delicious sweetcorn salad tossed with mint, tomatoes and capsicum, accompanied by a smooth avocado cream and tortilla chips!
1. Dice tofu and zucchini into 2cm pieces. Toss with 2 crushed garlic cloves, 2 tsp smoked paprika, 2 tsp brown sugar and 2 tbsp oil in a bowl to coat. Set aside.
2. Remove corn kernels from cobs. Cook in a frypan over high heat with 1 tsp oil for 4-5 minutes, or until charred. Reserve pan.
3. Halve tomatoes and dice capsicum. Chop mint leaves and toss all together with grilled corn. Grate and stir through lime zest, juice from 1/2 lime (reserve remaining) and 1 tbsp olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4. Blend avocado with juice from remaining lime, 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 crushed garlic clove using a stick mixer. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
5. Thread zucchini and tofu onto 8-12 skewers. Reheat frypan to medium-high heat. Cook skewers for 2-3 minutes on each side. Spoon over remaining marinade as the skewers are cooking.
6. Serve tofu kebabs with succotash salad, avocado cream and tortilla chips for dipping.
Notes:
You can also cook the kebabs using a griddle pan or BBQ.
Line the frypan with baking paper prior to cooking the skewers to prevent the marinade from sticking to the pan.
