Flavorful Vegan Tofu Skewers with Chimichurri
These grilled tofu skewers are marinated in a homemade chimichurri sauce made from fresh herbs, garlic, and vinegar. The recipe takes about 30 minutes to prepare and 15 minutes to cook, serving 4 people.
Ingredients
- 14 oz firm tofu, pressed and cubed
- 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Skewers (wooden or metal)
Instructions
- Prepare the Tofu: Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into cubes.
- Make the Chimichurri: In a bowl, combine parsley, cilantro, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the chimichurri sauce.
- Marinate the Tofu: Place the cubed tofu in a shallow dish and pour half of the chimichurri sauce over it. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Assemble the Skewers: Thread the marinated tofu onto skewers, leaving space between each piece.
