Zutaten

Peeling tofu sounds a bit strange but it makes the tofu taste SO GOOD, you need to try it 🤩

It’s lovely and thin so it soaks up all the flavour of the marinade and it goes super crispy in the oven giving it an incredible texture 💥

I’ve coated the tofu in a smoky, spicy marinade and served the skewers on flatbreads for a summery dinner but you could flavour them however you please and serve with anything you like 🙌

For the pink onion:

1/2 small red onion

3 tablespoons apple cider or red wine vinegar

1/2 tea spoons of sumac

280g block of extra firm tofu

3 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp garlic granules

1 tsp light soy sauce

1/4 tsp chilli

For the herby garlicky yogurt:

125g yogurt

1 garlic clove, minced

1 tbsp chopped herbs (I used parsley & dill)

Zest of 1/2 lemon

Everything else:

4 small flatbreads

Fresh herbs

Pickled chillis

Lemon wedges

Chilli oil

Anweisungen

Preheat your oven to 180°C.

Finely slice your onion and place into a small bowl or container. Cover with the vinegar and leave in a warm place to marinate. They should start to turn pink.

Drain and pat dry the tofu. Use a vegetable peeler to peel the block of tofu into thin strips. Press down into the tofu with a firm amount of pressure and peel at the same time. Depending on the tofu it might help to wiggle the peeler a bit. Save any crumbly bits for scrambled tofu or another meal.

In a shallow bowl or container, mix together all of the ingredients for the marinade. Add the peeled tofu strips and using your fingers or a fork, toss around in the marinade until well coated. Thread the strips onto small skewers. If using wooden ones, soak in water first to stop burning.

Arrange the skewers over a lined baking tray and rpast for 15 minutes, turn the skewers and roast for a further 15 minutes or until crispy.

Mix together the ingredients for the yogurt and warm your flatbreads.

Spread the flatbreads with yogurt, add a couple of skewers and any other toppings (pink onions, pickled chillis, fresh herbs). Finish with a squeeze of lemon and a drizzle of chilli oil. Enjoy! 💛
