Ingredients:


1 pound firm tofu

2 teaspoons dried oregano

1 cup water

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar or wine vinegar

1/2 cup red wine -- optional

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

---VEGETABLES

1 medium red onion

1 medium green bell pepper

1 medium red bell pepper

1 medium button mushrooms

1 medium japanese eggplant

1 medium zucchini

1 bunch cherry tomatoes
 

Preparation / Directions:


Press the tofu to remove some of its moisture: Place on a cutting board or baking sheet and cover with a second cutting board or baking sheet. Put 2 or 3 heavy items (like cans of beans) on top of this and let it stand at least 30 minutes. In the meantime, toast the oregano in a large, dry skillet over medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the remaining marinade ingredients and stir to mix. Remove from heat. Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes and add to the marinade. Allow the tofu to marinate for at least 1 hour, occasionally turning it gently. Cut the onion into 1-inch chunks. Seed the peppers and cut them into large pieces. Clean the mushrooms. Slice the eggplant and zucchini into 1/2-inch-long pieces. Place an assortment of vegetables and marinated tofu onto each skewer, and grill under a broiler or over coals, turning every few minutes to expose all sides to the heat. Cook 5 to 10 minutes, until vegetables are lightly browned and everything is hot.
