Grilled Tofu Kebabs with Vegan Herb Yoghurt Drizzle. Perfect for a quick dinner or snack! The different textures of the crispy tofu and the soft grilled vegetables come together perfectly with a herby, vegan yoghurt sauce.
I’m constantly surprised at the versatility of vegetables. You can cook them in so many different ways and make infinite meals and snacks.
The tofu is coated in a fragrant spice mix, which also crisps up when cooked on the griddle. Tofu is one of my favourite things to use in vegan cooking because it just soaks up ANY flavour you throw at it, making it one of the most versatile ingredients ever!
Then the finishing touch is the gorgeous, creamy, vegan green yoghurt sauce. Soy yoghurt is the best base for this, because of it’s similarity to natural yoghurt. It’s not too firm and it’s got a mild flavour which allows the herbs to stand out with the lemon juice.
