Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 3 tbsp tamarind paste
  • 3 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 (225g) pack firm smoked tofu, cut into 3 cm cubes
  • 2 red onions, cut into 3 cm pieces
  • 3 romano peppers, cut into 3 cm pieces
  • 100ml olive oil
  • 1 small handful chives, finely chopped

Method

3 steps

  1. Step 1

    To make the glaze, combine the sesame oil, tamarind paste, sweet chilli sauce and soy sauce in a large bowl. Add the tofu, red onion and peppers; gently toss to coat.

  2. Step 2

    Prepare the barbecue for direct cooking or preheat the grill. Thread the tofu and veg onto skewers (pre-soaked if wooden); grill for 3-5 mins each side until lightly charred.

  3. Step 3

    Put the olive oil in a small saucepan and heat for 30 secs over a medium heat; turn off immediately and add the chives. Serve the skewers with some of the chive oil drizzled over and the rest on the side.
