First off, sorry for overloading you with posts recently, I’ve had so many ideas of food I want to eat and create that I’ve just been too impatient to only post every few days like I normally do – I’m eating yummy things every day now and I want to share it with you :)

I wanted to use up the rest of the maple syrup that I bought to create the masterpiece that was my pumpkin pie on Tuesday, and I decided that I don’t use nearly enough tofu in my blog, so I would make glazed kebabs! This nearly turned out to be a horrendous mistake, as I got so excited about making them, then couldn’t find kebab sticks anywhere, and in the end I had to use broken stems from a fan I found in a charity shop, but they worked out ok, so I’m happy :)

This is a really yummy dinner, as the sweetness of the maple syrup and all the spices really bring life to tofu, which can be really boring and bland – I bought hazelnut tofu for this recipe as I thought it would suit the deep, spiciness of the marinade, and I’m really not a fan of the unflavoured stuff, it tastes just like rubber to me. I hope you love this recipe as much as I did, and I hope I’ve converted a few non-tofu eaters!

Maple Glazed Tofu Kebabs

Ingredients

125g of extra-firm hazelnut tofu

2 tablespoons of maple syrup

1 teaspoon of olive oil

Half a teaspoon of cayenne pepper

One clove of finely chopped garlic

1 teaspoon of soy sauce

Assorted veggies (tomatoes, courgette etc.)

Method 

1. Marinade the tofu in all of the ingredients in a bowl covered with clingfilm for at least 15 minutes, then put onto skewers with some veggies.
2. Grill for around 20 minutes each side until golden brown and deliciously yummy looking.
