Turmeric Tofu Skewers<\/b> are so easy to make and are so flavourful. Accompanied by herbed steamed & baked <\/strong>baby potatoes<\/b>, oven baked portobello mushrooms<\/b> and steamed green beans<\/b>, they make a healthy delicious meal that comes ready in about 40 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fridays are literally my favourite evenings; the reason being obvious! While the dinner menu varies greatly on Fridays, it always calls for something nice and comforting but not time consuming. For this I have an array of tasty meals that are under 40 minutes, preparation through to being ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of my Friday menus that I really enjoyed (and bound to make again) was these Turmeric Tofu Skewers<\/b> accompanied by herbed steamed & baked <\/strong>baby potatoes<\/b>, oven baked portobello mushrooms<\/b> and steamed green beans<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Herbed Steamed & Baked Baby Potatoes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To make this meal in 40 minutes, start with the baby potatoes. Allow 4 – 5 per person (depending on their size). Steam for about 15 – 20 minutes or until soft (when pricked with a fork). Then, sprinkle with some fresh herbs (dill in this case) and transfer into the oven; bake for 10 minutes. No need to grease the potatoes but do grease the tray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the potatoes are steaming, prepare the tofu for the skewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turmeric Tofu Skewers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients (for 6 skewers)<\/b>
1 block (about 350g) firm tofu
1 – 2 bell peppers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marinade:<\/i>
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 pinch cayenne pepper (or chilli powder)
1 pinch ground cumin (optional)
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon water (more or less)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make tofu skewers:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mix all marinade ingredients together with the water to make a paste (not too thick) in a bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cut tofu block into 24 chunky square pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drop the pieces into the marinade bowl and mix well, taking care not to break the tofu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leave the tofu to marinade for about 10 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, cut the bell peppers into chunky pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assemble the tofu pieces and peppers onto bamboo skewers, alternating veggies and tofu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place on a lightly greased oven tray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bake at 170 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes, turning the skewers over themselves occasionally to ensure even baking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Turmeric <\/picture><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

As for the mushroom, drizzle with a bit of chilli oil and some fresh dill; bake for 10 minutes. (Put this in the oven after the tofu skewers have baked for 20 minutes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How <\/picture><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

While all (skewers, potatoes and mushrooms) is baking for the final 10 minutes in the oven, steam a handful of green beans for 5 minutes (you already have the steamer out for the potatoes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
