This particular recipe like the others in this book helps to give the tofu a little extra kick. But be careful and do not serve to any of your guests who may have any kind of nut allergy.
Ingredients
900grams Extra Firm Tofu Drained Cut Into 1 Inch Cubes
1 Red Bell Pepper Seeded Cut Into 1 Inch Squares
Marinade
2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
2 Tablespoons Sesame Oil
2 Tablespoons Sherry
Satay Sauce
180ml Coconut Milk
120ml Natural Style Peanut Butter (Smooth Or Chunky)
2 Garlic Cloves Minced
1 ½ Teaspoons Curry Powder
1 ½ Tablespoons Brown Sugar
1 Tablespoon Lime Juice
1 Tablespoon Canola Oil
1 ½ Tablespoons Soy Sauce
Dash Cayenne Pepper
Instructions
1. In a bowl combine together the soy sauce, sesame oil and sherry to make the marinade. Then tothis add the tofu and red pepper and toss gently until they are evenly coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl over with some plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for between 30 minutes and 8 hours. The longer you leave the tofu to marinate in the sauce the more of its flavor will be absorbed by the tofu.
2. About 20 minutes before you remove the tofu and peppers from the refrigerator get the barbecue started. Whilst the barbecue is heating up you can now make the satay sauce to serve with the tofu.
3. To make the satay sauce place all the ingredients mentioned above in a food processor andblend until a smooth mixture is formed. Remove from processor and place into a serving bowl and set to one side (refrigerate if you wish) ready to use later. However before setting it aside take about 60ml of the sauce as you will be using this for coating the tofu just before you cook it.
4. To cook the tofu and peppers thread these on to skewers and then brush over them the sataysauce and cook over a high heat for at least 20 minutes. Make sure that you turn the skewers over frequently to prevent the tofu and peppers from burning or until the tofu is cooked through.
5. Allow the kebabs to cool down to room temperature before then serving to your guests alongwith the remainder of the satay sauce you made earlier.
