Summer Grilling Tips

Easy Barbecue Tofu Kabobs

2 Cakes Firm Tofu
(Freeze 1 day before using, squeeze out water, and cut into 1" x 2" cubes)
Marinate the cubes in your favorite barbecue sauce for at least 1 hour prior to grilling.

Vegetables for Kebabs-cut into cubes:
1 Vidalia or sweet onion
1 zucchini
1 red pepper
2 tomatoes
Toss the vegetables in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon fresh ground pepper, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon onion powder

Arrange tofu and vegetables on skewers and baste with barbecue sauce.
Grill the skewers over a medium-hot fire until lightly charred and tender, about 4 minutes for each side.
When the Kebabs are almost finished grilling-grill crusty French or Italian bread (Semolina or whole grain) open-faced, with olive oil, garlic powder (or fresh minced garlic), oregano, salt, and pepper. Serve with the Tofu Kebabs and a fresh Garden Salad.

Pierogi Crostini

2 dozen fresh, precooked potato pierogi (if not precooked, boil them, drain and let cool before grilling)

Fresh Salsa
Sour Cream (use tofu sour cream as a non-dairy alternative)

Arrange the pierogi on a baking sheet and brush generously with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the pierogi over a medium-hot fire until they are browned and crisp, about 2 minutes on per side.

Top with sour cream or dip in salsa.

Grilled Portobello Mushrooms

4 large Portobello mushrooms, cleaned with stems removed
2 cloves garlic, pressed
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 teaspoons Balsamic vinegar
¼ teaspoon Salt

Brush tops of mushrooms with 1 tablespoon olive oil; whisk together the 2 remaining tablespoons oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, and salt. Brush on inside of mushroom caps; set aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes, if marinating any longer, store in refrigerator.

Grill Portobellos, topside down, for 5 minutes on medium heat. Turn and cook for 2 minutes or until they lose some liquid but are still firm.

Serve on an herb-crusted roll with a slice of tomato, lettuce, and onion for a Portobello burger. Or slice and serve over a fresh Garden Salad with your favorite dressing.
