Preparation
Cook the bulgur
- Heat the BBQ on high (or pan on medium-high), making sure to oil the grill first.
- Place the skewers in a shallow bowl; cover with water.
- Mince the garlic.
- In a medium pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the bulgur, ¾ cup water (double for 4 portions) and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 6 to 8 min., until the bulgur is tender and the water has been absorbed. Fluff the bulgur.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, pat the tofu dry; cut into ½ inch cubes.
- Quarter the zucchini lengthwise.
- Halve, core and cut the sweet pepper lengthwise into 1-inch pieces.
- In a medium bowl, combine the tofu, a drizzle of oil, ⅔ of the spices and S&P.
- Drain the skewers and thread each one with the tofu, leaving 1-inch free on the bottom.
Grill the vegetables
- In a second medium bowl, combine the sweet pepper, zucchini, a drizzle of oil, the remaining spices and S&P.
- Add to the BBQ (or pan) and grill, 3 to 4 min. per side, until tender.
Grill the tofu skewers
- Meanwhile, add the tofu skewers to the BBQ (or pan) and grill, occasionally brushing with the BBQ sauce, 2 to 3 min. per side, until crispy.
Plate your dish
- Divide the bulgur between your plates.
- Top with the vegetables and tofu skewers. Bon appétit!
