When summer is on its way, I like to use as many different types of vegetables as possible. There are countless ways to prepare them and these kebabs are a delicious, vegan BBQ option. I prefer to cook them in the oven as this gives the tofu a firm texture, however these kebabs can also be taken to a BBQ party and barbecued on the grill. The tofu is coated in a spicy marinade, giving it a wonderfully crispy texture once cooked. The yoghurt & herb dressing provides a great contrast in terms of flavour and texture.
