Indonesian Vegetarian Satay

Great with any curry dish, particularly red curry with pineapple.


Ingredients

bamboo skewers

vegetables
firm tofu, cut into 1 inch cubes
onion, cut into ~1 inch squares
bell pepper, cut into ~1 inch squares

marinade
1/2 c peanut butter (unsweetened)
1/4 c brown sugar
tiny dash of soy sauce

Instructions

Soak the skewers in water for an hour. Mix together the marinade ingredients over low heat until well blended. Marinate the vegetables for 30 minutes, then place them on the skewers, brushing with remaining marinade.

Broil in the oven for ~15 minutes, turning occasionally. Serve with peanut sauce (recipe below, or purchase pre-made).
