Preparation
Cook the bulgur
- 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.
Sear the vegetables
- In a second medium bowl, combine the sweet pepper, zucchini, a drizzle of oil, the remaining spices and S&P.
- In a grill pan (or large pan), heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the vegetables and sear, 3 to 4 min. per side, until tender.
- Transfer to a bowl and reserve the pan.
Sear the tofu skewers
- In the same pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the tofu skewers and sear, occasionally brushing with the BBQ sauce, 2 to 3 min. per side, until crispy.
Plate your dish
