Directions for Fody's BBQ Tofu Skewers with Pineapple Salsa & Cilantro Lime Rice
To start your cilantro lime rice, add rice and water (and optional salt if using) to a medium saucepan. Cover, bring to a boil, then immediately reduce heat to low. Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until all water has just evaporated. Turn off heat and let steam for 5 minutes, then add cilantro and lime juice. Gently stir with a fork to fully incorporate.
To make the BBQ Sauce for your tofu skewers, add all the ingredients to a small saucepan, whisk together and cook covered on medium-low for 5-6 minutes at a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Spread out tofu cubes on a large baking tray. Drizzle shallot oil over the top and sprinkle with steak seasoning. Very gently toss to coat. Add tofu to skewers, with one or two pieces of bell pepper on each. Preheat a grill pan on medium to medium-high heat. Spray a small amount of cooking spray in the pan, or use more olive oil, and lay out skewers in a single layer. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, brush generously with BBQ Sauce and flip, cooking for another 4 to 6 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare Pineapple Salsa by adding all its ingredients to a mixing bowl and stir well. Serve tofu skewers on top of cilantro lime rice, topped with some pineapple salsa. Serve remaining pineapple salsa and BBQ Sauce on the side. All that’s left is to enjoy your plant-based feast!
Notes:
If you are using extra-firm tofu instead of super-firm tofu, press tofu for 15-20 minutes. To press tofu, wrap tofu in a paper towel and place it on a plate. Place a saucepan or frying pan on top, or use a tofu press, to remove water that comes out of the tofu.
