Instructions

1. 1

   Press 450 grams of extra-firm tofu for 30 minutes to remove excess water, then cut it into 2.5 cm cubes.

2. 2

   Prepare the marinade by whisking together 60 ml fresh lemon juice, 60 ml olive oil, 2 teaspoons dried oregano, 2 minced cloves of fresh garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 0.5 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl.

3. 3

   Add the cubed tofu, 1 thinly sliced red onion, and 2 chopped bell peppers to the marinade, ensuring all ingredients are well coated, then marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, in the refrigerator.

4. 4

   Thread the marinated tofu cubes, red onion slices, bell pepper pieces, and 1 cup of whole cherry tomatoes onto 6 wooden skewers, alternating ingredients for an even cook.

5. 5

   Preheat a fire grill or broiler to medium-high heat.

6. 6

   Place the skewers directly onto the hot grill and fire-roast for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the tofu is golden brown and the vegetables are tender-crisp with charred edges.

7. 7

   Remove the Fire-Roasted Tofu Souvlaki from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving with a side of tzatziki or fresh pita bread.
