Tofu Kebabs

These tofu kebabs are my all time favorite comfort meal! They are somehow light and dense at the same time, nutritious yet indulgent, and so so good. We love the kebabs as is but we really love that we can customize them however we want based on our mood or the ingredients we have on hand.

We love to pair this dish with our turmeric garlic rice and olive relish but it would go excellent on a salad, in a greek bowl, or with a pasta. However you have this dish, we are sure you will love it!

We are dedicated to making recipes that anyone can enjoy, no matter what allergies or restrictions you have. For this recipe, it is gluten free and dairy free naturally but we have also provided a substitute recipe that is also vegan.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Tofu Kebab Instructions:

• Remove tofu from package, place in between paper towels, and put something heavy like a book on top to remove the excess moisture. Let sit for 3 minutes.
• Add tofu to a mixing bowl with the other ingredients except for the flour. 
• Start mixing and once all ingredients are incorporated, start adding flour 1 tbsp at a time until you have a mixture that will hold together when you press it.
• Once the desired consistency, start shaping our kebabs. You can do this around a skewer but we prefer to make them into very large tater tot looking shapes.
• Add oil to a pan and set it to medium, medium-high. Once the oil has had a chance to get hot, add in the kebabs. 
• Brown on all sides and set aside on a paper towel lined plate or a drying rack.

Dressing Instructions:

• Add all ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix to combine.
• Taste, adjust seasoning, and enjoy!

Putting the Recipe Together:

• Place your kebabs on a serving platter. You can sprinkle with a bit of paprika or parsley to level them up a bit.
