Grilled Tofu and Mushroom Brochettes

(makes 4 servings)

Ingredients:

• 12 oz. white button mushrooms
  
  


• 10 (½oz.) package of firm beancurd (tofu)
  
  


• 4 tbsp white wine vinegar
  
  


• 3 tbsp olive oil
  
  


• 1 lemon
  
  


• 1 garlic clove, crushed
  
  


• 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  
  


• 1 tbsp cilantro, chopped
  
  


• 1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
  
  


• Salt and pepper, to taste
  
  

Preparation:

• Wash outside of lemon thoroughly with warm water and soap. Pat dry then grate peel and set aside. In a medium bowl, slice lemon in half and squeeze out juice.
  
  


• Add the garlic, olive oil, white wine vinegar and chopped herbs with the lemon juice and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  
  


• Using a damp cloth, clean mushrooms and remove any excess soil. Slice mushrooms in half and set aside.
  
  


• Using a sharp knife, slice the tofu into medium 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 about 1-2 hours.
  
  


• Prepare grill.
  
  


• Remove brochettes and set aside marinade for basting. Cook brochettes over a hot grill, brushing often with the reserved marinade until cooked through (about 6 minutes).
  
  


• Serve with an extra sprinkling of chopped fresh herbs and lemon wedges.
